Two field trials were conducted in red sandy loam soils with finger millet (Eleusine corecana Geartn. var. Co 10) and maize (Zea mays var. Ganga-1) as test crops to evaluate the influence of biological wastes on the soil physical properties and the yield of crops. The biological wastes tried were maize straw, pig manure, municipal compost, sugarcane bagasse and groundnut husk applied at 20 t ha'. In both the trials, organic wastes application increased the saturated hydraulic conductivity and aggregate stability significantly. Significantly higher grain and straw yield over control obtained in pig manure and municipal compost treated plots
