Enhancement of soil properties resulting in increased yield of ground nut using organic farming Jeyamangalam F., Franciya T. Saral Kiruba Department of Physics, Sarah Tucker College, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India. E-mail: saralfranci92@gmail.com Online published on 30 November, 2019. Abstract The experiment was conducted at Idayankulam village in Tirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu, India which is located at 9.476æ% latitude and 77.547æ% longitude. To evaluate the effect of different organic manures and their combinations on physio-chemical properties of soil and their impacts on ground nut crop. The organic manures applied in this study were farm yard manure (FYM), tank silt (TS) and green manure (GM). Soil samples were collected 30 days after application of the treatments and after harvest of crop. The yield was high (4300 kg ha−1) with the combination of FYM + TS (1:1) @ 12.5 t ha−1 against control (3200 kg ha−1). The pH, electrical conductivity (EC), bulk density (BD) and particle density (PD) decreased in all treatments other than control. NPK content, water holding capacity (WHC), pore space (PS) saturated moisture (SM) content increased. Thus, applications of treatments in the proper combination may be a good strategy to reclaim the soils. Top Keywords Tank silt, FYM, green manure, soil physio-chemical properties. Top | |
