It is recommended to reduce application rates for contaminants can <br /> flow deep into the soil profile due to low retention of this soil. Note that applications of <br /> agricultural manure effluent improve available water capacity.4 <br /> The last sentence means that though the soil is now at the bottom of the moderate range, <br /> after some years of manure effluent, it is likely that Available Water Capacity will be <br /> improved. <br /> On page 13, the numbers changed for soil 195, but not enough to change the conclusion. <br /> (severe limitations) <br /> On page 16, the numbers changed for soils 193 and 195, but not enough to change the <br /> conclusion. (moderate limitations) <br />
