Effect of soil amendments on physical properties of soil in maize (Zea mays L.)

The physical properties like porosity, water holding capacity, bulk density and soil moisture content was improved with the application of FYM (Choudhary and Kumar, 2013). Due to application of tanksilt to soil, bulk density (BD) and hydraulic conductivity of soil was decreased, Water holding capacity (WHC) and soil moisture content was increased (Jeyamangalam et al., 2012).
