Soil properties are sensitive to changes in the soil environment as influenced by vegetation, climate and inputs and losses of biomass and nutrients. Thus, the cropping systems with different management practices are likely to influence soil properties. Grid based soil survey was conducted in Mudhol[r]

Historic agronomic practices have been developed with the farm or field
as the area of management. The advent of soil conservation began to lead soil
management toward topographic and soilspecific features. Even so, agronomic
practices and recommendations have largely been made on a field basis rath[r]
