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 tillage (CT) on soil cone index (CI), bulk density (ρb), and gravimetric water ...
The bulk density profile distribution patterns obtained from 5 sampling sites on the sandy soil did not show a large degree of individual differences. The bulk density patterns were related to soil development characteristics.doi:10.1080/00103627809366816...
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...
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. ...
We conducted a 3-yr (1994-1996) study in a boreal sandy soil, Ferro-Humic Podzol (Spodosols), to determine the potential of Sphagnum peat for improving soil organic matter (SOM), water holding capacity, bulk density (BD), plant leaf nutrient status, and potato and barley yields. The ...

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...
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.doi:10.3923/ajps.2002.5.6Muhammad Siddique Shakir
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 ...
