Abstract


Analysis of soil from the permanent manurial plots of Tamil Nadu Agricultural Unviersity farm at Coimbatore revealed that the clay content had a positive influence on water holding capacity and total pore space of soil and a negative influence with respect to hydraulic conductivity: Continuous application of cattle manure for 84 years recorded higher values for all the physical properties evaluated.
