A study on the effect of tillage and organic amendments on the structural properties of soil and yield of bajra (HB3)was conducted in red sandy loam soil.The tillage treatments consisted of ploughing up to 10,20,30 and 45 cm depths.the amendments included in the experiment were maize straw.rice husk.farm yard manure.tank silt.gypsum.neem cake and polystyrane.An improvement in capilary porosity,hydraulic conductivity.structural coefficient and stability index was observed in the post harvest soil samples when compared to pre-sowing samples.Deep tillage to 20 and 45 cm.
