The effect of tillage and organics on moisture conservation and physical properties of soil was studied in field. The tillage and organics showed significant improvement on moisture conservation and physical properties of soil. Tillage with tractor plough (T3) along with press mud compost (A2) and pulverization with rotavation (P2) was found superior for conservation of moisture in soil. Similar trend was observed with respect to physical properties soil.

Abstract


The effect of tillage and organics on moisture conservation and physical properties of soil was studied in field. The tillage and organics showed significant improvement on moisture conservation and physical properties of soil. Tillage with tractor plough (T3) along with press mud compost (A2) and pulverization with rotavation (P2) was found superior for conservation of moisture in soil. Similar trend was observed with respect to physical properties soil.
