Long term effect of balance nutrient management on dynamics of important physical properties of a calcareous under AICRP-LTFE soils
Abstract
Surfaces soil samples (0-15 cm) were collected to study Long term effect of balance nutrient management on Soil physical properties from soils of the LTFE’s conducted on groundnut-wheat cropping sequence at Instructional Farm, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during the year 2002-03 (4th year), 2006-07 (8th year), 2010-11 (12th year) and 2014-15 (16th year) after completion of crop cycle. The application of FYM @ 10 t/ha to groundnut and @ 15 t/ha to wheat increased porosity, maximum water holding capacity, moisture retention and hydraulic conductivity of soil. This was significantly reduced bulk density and particle density of soil with application of FYM compare to fertilized and control plots.
