Fig. 9. Volumetric soil moisture () and apparent electrical conductivity (EC_a) were measured in and around injection slits between 1 and 13 d after application of cattle slurry with disc injection (upper panels) or harrow tine injection (bottom panels). Actual readings are shown in the left-hand column, while the plots in the second () and third column (EC_a) show relative deviations from Position C, the probe installed at 5-cm distance from the injection slit (see Fig. 4B). The variables x and z refer to, respectively, horizontal and vertical distance relative to the injection slit.
