Effect of crop residues incorporation on physical properties and yield of greengram-safflower crop sequence under sodic haplusterts

A field investigation was conducted during 2004-2005 at Karanja Ramzanpur, village in Purna valley in Vidarbha region. The experimental was laid out in Randomized Block Design, consisting of seven treatments i.e. 100 % RD of NPK, 50 % RD of NPK, PSB 10 kg ha-1 , crop residue @ 2 t ha-1 and alkali water irrigation passed through gypsum bed (30 cm thickness). The initial pHs, ECe, SAR and ESP representative soil varied from 8.51 to 8.40, 1.06 to 1.18, 15.17 to 9.22, 18.36 to 12.19 respectively.
