“…Furthermore, Dao (1996) reported that non-tilled soil had lower BD than conventionally-tilled soil. Though, Ishaq et al (2002) reported that no significant effect of tillage methods on soil BD was noticed. Rasmussen (1999) remarked that these contradictory results may be due to differences in crop species, soil properties, climatic characteristics and complex interactions of all these factors.…”

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different farming systems (organic, integrated, conventional and monoculture) on some soil properties as: bulk density, contents of readily-dispersible clay, organic matter and particulate organic matter, and enzymatic activity measured in terms of the intensity of fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis. Soil under permanent grass was used as a control. The study was conducted on the 20 years lasting field experiment. Samples of Haplic Luvisol soil were collected twice a year on fields under winter wheat from the layers of 0-5, 5-10, 15-20, and 30-35 cm. Within arable soils the soil under organic farming contained the greatest amount of organic matter, which influenced strongly the readily-dispersible clay content, especially in the layer of 5-20 cm. The readily-dispersible clay content in soil under organic farming was 3 times lower, as compared to the conventional and monoculture farming. The highest contents of particulate organic matter 6.2 and 3.5 mg g−1air dry soil, on average were measured in the 0-5 cm layer of control soil and soil under organic farming, respectively. Also, soil under organic farming and control soil from the depth of 0-5 cm showed 2-2.5 times greater activity of microorganisms in fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis than soil under conventional and monoculture farming. Increase of concentration of organic matter in soil under organic farming decreased soil bulk density. Statistical analysis showed significant correlations between studied parameters of soil quality and confirmed their effectiveness as indicators of disturbances in soil environment.

“…However, Hill and Cruse (1985) observed no significant effect of no-till and plow till on BD of a Mollisol. Ishaq et al (2002) also observed no significant effect of tillage methods on soil bulk density. These contradictory results may be due to differences in crop species, soil properties, climatic characteristics and their complex interactions (Rasmussen, 1999).…”

“…Different tillage system and tillage intensity has different effect on soil physical, chemical and biological properties of soil (Ishaq et al, 2002). The contradictory results on soil properties as effect of different tillage system 'may be due to differences in crop species, soil properties, climatic characteristics and their complex interactions (Ishaq et al, 2002).…”

“…The contradictory results on soil properties as effect of different tillage system 'may be due to differences in crop species, soil properties, climatic characteristics and their complex interactions (Ishaq et al, 2002). Thus, study on effect of tillage on soil properties should be done for long-term so that more accurate generalizations can be made regarding the conditions required for sustainable tillage systems (Ishaq et al, 2002). Therefore, it is necessary to examine the long-term effects of tillage at different locations and under various environmental and soil conditions so that more accurate generalizations can be made regarding the conditions required for sustainable tillage systems (Ishaq, et al, 2002).…”

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of tillage practices, residue management and cropping system on soil properties at NMRP, Rampur, Chitwan from November 2015 to April 2016. The experiment was laid on Strip split design with combination of 12 different treatments i.e, zero tillage & conventional tillage as main plot in the strip, residue retention & residue removal as sub-plot factor and maize -wheat, maize + soybean -wheat & soybean -wheat cropping system as subsub plot factor. Three replications of the treatments were made. Soil sample before experiment and after harvest of wheat was taken (0-15cm). The experiment showed significant effect of zero tillage on organic carbon (2.169%) and on total soil nitrogen (0.112 %). Zero tillage with retention of residues is valuable tool for the conservation agriculture and helps in sustainability of soil however long-term research for the tillage management and residue retention should be conducted to highlight the major effects on change in properties of soil.
