Comparative study of physico-chemical properties of soil under different canopies in Jhansi

Abstract

Soil properties and different land use system based on the result of study, variation in soil physic-chemical properties were observed. This variation in soil physic-chemical properties could be related to accumulation of organic matter due to leaf litter, frequent tillage properties, crop residues during harvesting process and use of organic manures etc. It is therefore recommended that appropriate and integrated land management options for different land use systems are required to sustain Agricultural productivity with indulgence of trees to maintain environment and ecological balance as well. The information generated from the present study can lead to development of sustainable and ecologically stable land use system for Jhansi district of Bundelkhand region.
