Analysis of the mutual relationship between two methods of field measurement of water infiltration into the soil
Larišová, Lucie ; Kriška,, Michal (referee) ; Kameníčková, Ivana (advisor)
This thesis deals with the theoretical description of the infiltration process and field measurements of infiltration in the cadastral territory of Bohaté Málkovice. The research work carried out in 2011 in an experimental area on Haplic Chernozem/FAO, medium-heavy loam soil. The experimental area was divided into two parts, the topsoil layer on these surfaces was processed by both classic and minimization technologies. The plots were sown by spring barley. The applied measurements of water infiltration into the soil were two-cylinder method and MiniDisc. Within the vicinity of the infiltration experiments with intact soil were collected samples for laboratory determination of saturated hydraulic conductivity. From the field measurements and laboratory experiments were determined values of hydraulic conductivity (saturated and unsaturated), and other infiltration characteristics, the cumulative infiltration and infiltration rate. To evaluate the infiltration of the heats was used three-paramether Philp type equation that provides a good estimate of saturated hydraulic conductivity. For the evaluation of the MiniDisc there was used the Zangova method that provides the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity. The laboratory evaluation of the saturated hydraulic conductivity was compared with the estimated values obtained from the field measurements. The values of the saturated hydraulic conductivity from the laboratory measurements are closely comparable with estimates obtained from the steady infiltration rates from the field experiments. The research results also showed that medium-heavy loam soil, when being processed by minimization including modification of the soil surface by digging, have a positive effect on the infiltration of water into the soil. This fact leads to a higher protection plants in the vegetative period and improvement of the retention and storage capacity of soil.

Changes in physical properties of the subsurface soil layers depending on the technology tillage
Bažantová, Adéla ; Larišová, Lucie (referee) ; Kameníčková, Ivana (advisor)
For the correct course of soil processes, plant growth and development is necessary the tillage of soil. Usually we choose between two technologies, that those adjustments are cariied out by. Both are conventional tillage, which uses plowing and minimization tillage, wherein is excluded plowing. Objective of this work is to determine the impact of these tillage treatments on selected physical properties of soil, i. e reduced bulk density of the soil, porosity, momentary contents of water and air in the soil. Soil samples were collected by Kopecky rollers (V = 100 cm3) taken from depths of 0,1; 0,2 and 0,3 m that were used to evaluate. Two samples were collected each July. This period is referred as a critical due to higher soil compaction (movement of mechanization, root system of plants and rainfall totals). Experimental research was conducted in years 2008 – 2011 in the village Bohaté Málkovice.
