Abstract: Conservation agriculture based field experiment was carried out at Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur to evaluate effect of different type of soil manipulation practices on physico- chemical properties of soil in a clay loam soil during 2014-15 and 2015-16. Results revealed that conventional tillage (CT) significantly increased the porosity (45.67 and 44.61%) and water holding capacity (44.27 and 43.61 %) of soil over rest of tillage practices. Bulk density of soil increased in zero tillage (1.41 Mg m-3) due to minimum soil disturbance and decreased in CT (1.37 Mg m-3) due to increase in tillage intensity. Zero tillage also increased available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur content in soil during both the years after harvest of cropping sequence maize-wheat-green gram as compared to permanent bed and conventional tillage.
