Tillage practices may have a profound impact on both soil environment and agricultural productivity. A field study was carried out from 2013 to 2019 to investigate the effect of no-till (NT) and conventional ti
Bulk densityCone indexMean weight diameterTillage is one of the important managing factors that can destroy or improve soil structure. Soil structure is affected by the machines and shape of the wheels. Field experiments were conducted at Hamadan Agricultural Research Station on a coarse loamy mixed...
Each of 8 sampling sites on the clay loam soil displayed distinct characteristic bulk density profiles, each varying in shape and magnitude from the other sites. The bulk density profile distribution patterns obtained from 5 sampling sites on the sandy soil did not show a large degree of ...
Porosity is the volume of soil that is filled with either water or air. It is inversely related to bulk density; as bulk density increases, porosity decreases.Soil textureis an important determinant of porosity. Porosity of mineral soils is often around 50% for both sandy and clayey soils. ...
Hence, soil compaction at 1.1–1.3 Mg m−3 could be crit- ical for groundnut cultivation. Keywords: soil compaction, bulk density, field capacity, groundnut yield 1 Introduction Soil physical conditions are important aspects of crop production due to their effects on soil productivity. These ...
It was found that bulk density increases with increase in TSS and ESP but ESP effect is more. Particle density and porosity both decrease with increase in TSS and ESP and decrease is more due to ESP. However, in sandy loam soil TSS has no effect on any of the parameter studied....
The soils were from sandy loam to loamy sand. The pH was slightly acid and C/N ratio about 20. Soil bulk density was between 0.8 and 1.4 g cm−3and mean bulk density was 1.1 g cm−3. Mean OC content was for compost 7.4 %, vegetable patches 5.2 % (0–30 cm depth), and law...

Effects of Soil Bulk Density and Water Regimen on Root Growth and Uptake of Phosphorus by RyegrassThe effects of soil bulk density (p) and water content on root extension, phosphorus (P) uptake and plant ngrowth were studied with ryegrass in pot experiments with a sandy loam soil. Uptake ...
The topsoil Land Use and Cover Area frame Statistical survey (LUCAS) aims at collecting harmonised data about the state of soil health over the extent of European Union (EU). In the LUCAS 2018 survey, bulk density has been analysed for three depths, i.e., 0–10 cm = 6140 sites; 10...
