Effects of diatomite on soil consistency limits and soil compactibility
The Atterberg limits and the Proctor compaction test parameters are related to agronomy with regard to compaction hazard for soils and tillage. This laboratory study, conducted on samples collected in the agricultural fields of Erzurum, Turkey
, was aimed to assess effects of diatomite with different rates on soil consistency limits and soil compactibility parameters in soils with different textures. The results of this study showed that diatomite application significantly enhanced soil mechanical
