Abstract
Soil samples from an experimental field were investigated. The aggrega te stability using the wet sieving method and the water drop technique as well as the soil erodibility using a rainfall simulator was calcul ated. Since it was found that the soil erodibility increases with incr easing soil aggregate stability due to the problem of relativity impos ed by the aggregate diameter, subsequently, some modifications were in troduced to restore the normal trend.
