摘要:The use of olive mill wastewater (OMW) by agricultural spreading constitutes an alternative among the solutions proposed. The experiment was carried out in Sidi Bou Ali (Tunisia), with three treatments, T 0 , T 1 (25 m 3 /ha) and T 2 (50 m 3 /ha) during four months. By means the physical capillary model for porous media, pF curves were established and the effects of OMW on the soil physical characteristics were studied. It was concluded that the OMW, for the two applied doses, induced a decrease in water retention for all tensions. An increase in saturated state hydraulic conductivity was obtained in a more pronounced manner in the case of topsoil for all dates. These results confirm the migration process of OMW from the topsoil to the underlying horizon. Such soil modifications are already required in order to establish a mulch on the soil surface so as to reduce the evaporation water losses.
