TABLE 17.17 Adjustment for the Erodibility Factor (K) |
- For soils with high very fine sand content of greater than 15%
- For soil textures coarser than loam (represented by the shaded area in the nomograph), subtract 5% from the percentage of verv fine sand and add the difference to the silt content. The 5% remaining very tine sand should be added to the % total sand"
- For soil textures finer than loam (represented by the areas outside of the shaded area in the nomograph), subtract 10% from the % very fine sand and add the differenct to the silt content. The 10 % remaining very fine sand should be added to the % total sand.
- Determine the K value from the nomograph using the corrected sand and silt contents
- For soil conditions outside the ideal conditions used to develop the nomograph as follows:
- If organic matter content is different from 2%, add the correction values provided in the following table
