Response of Organic Manures and Rice Residues on Physical Soil Health Parameters

The trial carried on topic “Response of organic manures and rice residues on soil physical health parameters” for the two repeated years, start from winter seasons of the years 2021-22 at research farm, department of soil science and agricultural chemistry. Total 54 soil samples were taken from the site from different depths i.e., 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm. Among nine treatments, during field experimentation, the conjunctive use of NPK and different organic manures [FYM, vermicompost, rice residues and jeevamrutha] levels, together come with best results significantly. The excavated soil sample from experimental site before conducting research operation, mentioned that, the land topography range was nearly levelled with 1-3% slope. Soil is of sandy loam texture. Significantly, with regard to physical soil parameters, cumulative mean value for bulk density 1.31 Mg m-3 , percent pore space 49.25 %, particle density 2.55 Mg m-3 and percent maximum water holding capacity 43.27 %, physical properties were found to be significant in terms soil health. This study includes awareness about the role about importance of physical properties for maintaining soil health.
