Bulk soil properties as the determinants of soil surface shear strength of puddled lowland rice soils of Sri Lanka affected by weed controlling methods

Soil shear strength (SS) is an important parameter for designing appropriate farm machinery. This study was aimed to estimate the surface SS of lowland puddled rice soils in Sri Lanka through the assessment of bulk soil parameters including soil moisture content (MC), bulk density (BD), soil texture...
