Abstract:SummaryFifteen profiles from the chilli growing areas of the district were chosen for the study. Soil samples were collected horizon-wise and analysed for physical properties. The soil texture varied from sandy loam to clay loam in surface horizons and sandy clay loam to clay loam to clay in sub-surface horizons. Bulk density and particle density of soils varied from 1.37 to 1.66 and 2.44 to 2.60 Mg m -3 , respectively, the per cent aggregates greater than 0.25 mm and per cent aggregate stability ranged from 6… Show more
“…This result was in agreement with the findings of Saikumar and Rao (2016) and Halder et al, (2015). Use of implements for cultivation of crop provide favourable situation for reduction in bulk density and more aeration.…”

“…On the other hand the organic matter content was less in the sub surface layer and more compaction in the subsurface layer which facilitates the reduction in hydraulic conductivity. This result corroborated with the result of Saikumar and Rao (2016). The mean saturated hydraulic conductivity of surface soils of irrigated area was lower (17.2 cm/h) than that of unirrigated area (18.0 cm/h).…”

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.
