Popis: A zero-tension sampler was designed for the collection of soil leachate at 1.2 m in the soil profile to determine the effects of dairy manure and NH 3 NO 3 applications on water quality in soils possessing a macropore structure. Nitrate-N concentrations in soil water collected from these samplers were compared with concentrations in soil water collected from conventional ceramic porous-cup samplers. The zero-tension samplers were constructed frpom 5-cm polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and installed at a 45 o angle in the soil profile []
