Abstract

                                In recent years great prominence has been given by research workers to the role of soil Physics in the production of crops. The relation between physical properties of soil and cropping power is now known to be of paramount importance. In the taluks of Nandikottur, Nandyal, Koilkuntia and Siruvel in Kurnool district a number of different types of clay soil are to be found. In appear ance some of these resemble typical heavy black soil land in Bellary district. The figures of mechanical and chemical analyses of typical dryland on the stations at Hagari and Nandyal which are shown below indicate their common properties.
