Abstract
Automated wet-sieving is preferred for this clay loam soil due to better sensitivity and savings (time and disposables) despite a larger capital investment. Rotations with greater frequency of winter wheat and no-till com-pared with conventional plow system had greater wet aggregate stability values, indicating better surface soil quality.
