Aggregation and clay dispersion of an oxisol treated with swine and poultry manures

Fertilisation using animal manure can improve soil structure. However, the positive and negative effects of this practice remain inconclusive, and manure application can change the superficial electric potential, thereby increasing the dispersible clay content, disaggregation and susceptibility of soil to erosion and contamination of surface water. The objective of this study was to evaluate a water-dispersible clay and the aggregation of an...
