In this research was carried out to determine the effects of farmyard manure and green manure applications on some soil physical properties in a three yearly organic vegetable cultivation field. The effects of control (C), farmyard manure (FYM) (35 t ha-1) and green manure (GM) applications on some soil physical properties (soil water characteristics (0.001, 0.1, 0.33, 1, 5, 10 and 15 bars), available water content, porosity and bulk density) were investigated in 0-10 and 10-20 cm soil depths for two years. At all tension values, the highest volumetric soil water contents were obtained for FYM application and the lowest ones for C treatment. The highest total porosity along with macro and micro porosity were found in the FYM application and the lowest ones were found in the C application. The available water content was the highest in the GM application and the lowest in the C application. In addition, the highest bulk density was found in C application and the lowest bulk density was found in FYM application. These results showed that the effects of different organic material applications on soil physical properties are important.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
