INFLUENCE OF QUALITY OF LAND LEVELLING ON SOIL MOISTURE VARIABILITY IN SAFFLOWER FIELDS

Knowledge of spatial variability in soil fertility is important for site specific nutrient management. In this study, spatial variability in properties that influence soil fertility such as soil organic carbon (OC), available N, available P2O5 and available K2O, secondary and micro nutrients in surf[r]

In this respect, soil FDA is an important indicator of soil microbial activity and biological health of soil. The aim of this research was to assess the effects of crop residue retention and P fertilization on FDA activity in soil.

An investigation was conducted in intensive rice growing block of Viruthachalam, Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu. The major objectives were to assess the soil physico- chemical and biological quality parameters in rice soils and to compare soil quality indexing methods viz., Principal component ana[r]

Dryland horticulture constitutes major part in horticulture crop production. Moisture stress is one of the major limiting factor in production of mango in dryland horticulture, since the rainfall is highly erratic and it is not possible to utilize available rainwater efficiently.
