“…Mahboubi et al (1993) reported that no-tillage could lead to excessive soil compaction resulting in poor plant growth and subsequently reduction in crop yield. Similar observations were also reported by other researchers (Carman, 1997;Hajabbasi & Hemmat, 2000) in arid region. Sieling et al (1998) reported higher wheat yields under NT in humid regions.…”

Tillage practices significantly influences soil physical characteristics and crop productivity. The infiltration characteristics, bulk density, porosity, penetration resistance, grain yield of rice and wheat were measured under no-till without residue (NT), roto-tillage (RT), and no-till with residue i.e. happy seeder (HS) in rice-wheat cropping system in sandy loam (SL) and loamy sand (LS) soils. For surface soil layer (0-15 cm) highest soil bulk density (Mg m -3 ) was recorded in HS (1.58) followed by RT (1.56) and NT (1.55) in LS soil. Soil porosity ranged from 40.6 % to 41.2 % under HS and RT, respectively for 0-15 cm depth in SL soil. The PR (K Pa) varied from 2412 (NT) to 2539 (HS) in SL. In LS soil PR (K Pa) varied from 2433 (NT) to 2603 (RT). Final infiltration rate (FIR) varied from 0.1 to 0.3 cm hr -1 under RT and NT in SL soil, while, in LS soil FIR varied from 0.5 to 0.8 cm hr -1 in RT and HS, respectively. Maximum rice grain yield (t ha -1 ) was recorded in RT (8.0) followed by NT (7.5) and HS (7.0) in SL soil. The corresponding rice yield (t ha -1 ) in LS was 6.5, 5.8 and 5.5 in RT, NT and HS, respectively. Wheat straw yield (t ha -1 ) ranged from 4.9 (NT) to 5.9 (HS) in SL soil. The wheat grain yield (t ha -1 ) was observed to be maximum in HS (4.5), followed by RT (4.0) and NT (3.9) in SL soil, while in LS soil the wheat grain yield (t ha -1 ) values were observed to be 2.7, 3.0 and 3.6 in NT, RT and HS, respectively. No significant effect of tillage and residue management practices was observed on grain yield of rice and wheat, however, significant changes were observed on water transmission characteristics and straw yields.

“…The enhanced water movement through soil macro pores in the profile increases the potential of soluble nitrates movement under no tillage scenario (Ahmad et al, 2009). Ground water pollution, due to nitrate (NO 3 -) leaching, causes serious problems concerning human health and the environment in many developing as well as developed countries (Benbi et al, 1991, Carman 1997, Wilson et al, 1999 Mehdi et al, (1999) and Sainju and Singh (2001) concluded that the application of tillage practice in crop production system is important for the plant growth as it affects soil environmental components. It can also have its influence on the N availability and N pool status for maintaining proper nutrient levels in the soil environment system.…”

Tillage, undoubtedly, is one of the most crucial practices to ameliorate crop productivity and maintain soil health.A field experiment was conducted at research farms; Institute of Soil and Environmental Sciences, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan to examine how soil properties and maize crop respond to different tillage strategies (minimum, conventional and deep tillage). Randomized complete block design (RCBD) was finalized for the experiment with three repeats. Maximum total biomass production and grain yield were recorded in case of deep tillage practices. Conventional tillage not only improved leaf area index but also harvest. Minimum tillage minimized the leaching of nutrients especially nitrates. Soil bulk density (Mg m -3 ), particle density, soil organic carbon (g kg -1), infiltration rate (mm hr -1 ), percent porosity (%) and soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (mm hr -1 ) got affected by different tillage practices. Minimum tillage is suggested to avoid leaching losses of nutrients, this loss reduces the crop productivity.

“…Tillage systems are site specific and depend on crop, soil type and the climate (Rasmussen, 1999). Tillage practices influence soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics, which in turn may alter plant growth and yield (Çarman, 1997;Ozpinar and Cay, 2006;Rashidi and Keshavarzpour, 2009). The role of deep tillage in ameliorating plough pans, hard pans or naturally occurring dense soil layers has been investigated by many workers (Vepraskas et al, 1986;Reddy et al, 1987;Campbell et al, 1994;Rashid et al, 1994;Akhtar et al, 1994).…”

The field experiment was conducted with four tillage and three nutrient management practices at Agronomy field unit, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The results of the study indicated that, higher groundnut pod yield (1307 and 1282 kg ha -1 ) and haulm yield (2733 and 2889 kg ha -1 ) was recorded with mechanical tillage + two intercultivations and integrated application of 50% organics and 50% inorganics, respectively as compared to rest of the treatments. Further, the same treatments noticed higher availability of N, P 2 O 5 and K 2 O in soil after harvest of groundnut, but greater improvement in soil organic carbon content was observed with conventional tillage + one intercultivation (0.62%) as compared to rest of the tillage practices. The maximum net returns and benefit-cost ratio was recorded with mechanical tillage + two intercultivations (Rs. 11,287 ha -1 and 1.75, respectively) and integrated application of 50% organics + 50% inorganics (Rs. 10,462 ha -1 and 1.69, respectively). However, interaction effect of tillage and nutrient management practices were not influenced significantly on soil fertility and productivity of groundnut under rainfed farming system.
