Effects of gamma irradiation on soil aggregate stability
Plant and Soil, Vol.28(1), pp.169-172

Abstract
Four soils, with a range of natural aggregate stability, were used to compare the effects of gamma irradiation on the stability of natural aggregates and of synthetic aggregates containing 0.5 per cent microbial polysaccharide. The stability of natural aggregates was not significantly affected by irradiation but that of the synthetic aggregates (prepared from the same soils) was significantly reduced, the magnitude of the reduction being negatively correlated with the clay content of the soil. © 1968 Martinus Nijhoff.
