Abstract
Soil samples were collected from two location at (0-30cm)depth for calcareous soil. First location includes clay soil which grown by both Alfalfa and Olive tree under both sprinkler and drip irrigation system respectively .Second location sandy loam soil (S L) was taken from the field grown by vegetative and irrigated by surface irrigation system.Field and laboratory results indicated that clay soil gave higher values for porosity, saturation percentage, clay activity, atterberg limit, and sorptivity compared with the (S L) soil. Also the result showed that the available water was higher for clay soil compared with (S L) soil. On the other hand clay soil gave lower values for saturated hydraulic conductivity, basic infiltration rate and gradient of accumulated infiltration curve compared with (S L) soil .Statistical analysis showed that the field and lab. sorptivity results were not significant especially as three aggregates were taken and 20% of plane area for spherical shape.
