IMPACT OF FERTILISATION AND INTENSIVE CROPPING ON PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF VERTIC USTROPEPT SOIL

Abstract

Conjoint use of FYM with NPK over a long period had improved the physical properties of the soil, when compared to the application of inorganic fertilisers alone. Hydraulic conductivity of the soil increased while bulk density decreased. In respect of water holding capacity, the NP treatment recorded higher value as against N alone and it increased with depth.
