Abstract:

The experiment was carried out at agriculture farm of Sardar Vallabbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut for comparative study of various tillage practices and its effect on the soil parameters. The three different tillage treatment T0 [No tillage], T1 [Disc Plough (1) + Disc Harrow (2)], T2 [Cultivator (1) + Rotavator (1)] and T3 [Rotavator (2)] were fixed and replicated three times. The various soil parameters like Moisture Content, Bulk Density, Soil Inversion, Soil Pulverisation and Cone Index were determined. It is clear from the obtained data that the effect of tillage on the soil parameters was positive. The treatment T2 was found to be more effective than T1 and T3 In future, production of crops in various treatments should be carried out to check more accurate effect of tillage on it also.
