A gibbsitic Red-Yellow Oxisol with electropositive carater was used to study the effect of organic matter on electrochemical properties and dispersion mechanisms. Two organic sources were used, one characterized by non-humified compounds (cattle manure) and another by humified compounds (peat humic acids). The soil was incubated with 0; 7,5; 15,0; 22,5 and 30,0 g kg-1 of organic manure. Water dispersible clay, electrical conductivity, water and KCl pH, and the zero point of saline effect (ZPSE) and superficial electric potential (Ψo) […]
