Characteristics of Organic Manures and Its Effect on Physical Properties of Soil in Pearl Millet

Organic manures are rich source of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, well micronutrients calcium, magnesium, sulfur, which essential for plants. It also contains organic matter that improves soil structure, water-holding capacity, aeration. The study focused on evaluating two types manures, i.e. Farmyard manure (FYM) vermicompost. Results showed vermicompost had higher nutrient content them FYM. A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2018 at Agronomy farm, S.K.N. College Agriculture Jobner (Rajasthan). design factorial randomized block with three replications. comprised five treatments (Control, @ 2.5 t ha-1, 5 FYM ha-1 10 ha-1) four fertility levels 50 per cent RDF (recommended dose fertilizer), 75 100 RDF). variety used RHB-173 pearl millet. the application ha -1 significantly decreased bulk density increased saturated hydraulic conductivity over control. maximum water retention (12.86 3.28 cent) 33kPa 1500 kPa were recorded under treatment being par -1. Thus, addition physical properties.
