The scope of our investigation was to determine the influence of the after-pectin apple malt on the transmission properties of the fallow pseudogley formed of the Carpathian flish. To this purpose the values of soil permeability for air and water were measured both for the soil, fertilised with the apple malt and left without it. For comparison the necessary mixtures of the soil and apple malt were prepared in our laboratory. Basing on the results obtained, one can observe that every time the apple malt is added to the soil, its transmission change, both the ones concerning the air and water permeability. An obviously positive influence of the apple malt on the gas exchange between the soil and atmosphere was observed. In the field conditions, the addition of the apple malt resulted in a slightly better water filtration by the soil under investigation. As for the soil samples prepared in our laboratory, the results obtained showed a considerable restriction of water flow both through the soi! and through its mixtures with apple malt.
