Abstract: With six packed columns composed of < 1 μm and 5 μm~0.25 mm fractions from an Eum-Orthic An- throsol (Columns 1~6) and one column of the Eum-Orthic Anthrosol (Column 7), K~(+) transport experiments under the condition of saturated steady water flow were conducted to qualify the effects of soil texture com- position on the retardation factor (R) of K~(+) transport. The results showed that the retardation factor of K~ (+) transport in the tested soil columns greatly increased with increasing clay contents. In an attempt to use pedo-transfer function (PTF) approach in the solute transport study, a preliminary PTF was established through the six packed columns (Columns 1~6) with soil basic data including soil bulk density, volumet- ric water content and clay content to predict the retardation factor, and proved valid by the satisfactory prediction of R in Column 7.
