Evaluation of Physico-chemical Parameters of Soil in Different Cropping Systems and their Co-relatio

Aim: The present study is an attempt to judge the impact of earthworm diversity on physico-synthetic parameters of soil in different cutting systems (that is basmati-wheat, basmati-chickpea, soybean-grain, moong-wheat) under organic and normal farming arrangements.Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the School of Organic Farming, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab, India from June, 2020 to March 2021.Methodology: The four earthworm class found during the study ending are Metaphire posthuma, Lampito mauritti, Amynthas morissia and Travoscolides chengannure, which concern two families i.e. Megascolicidae and Octochateidae. Out of these Travoscolides chengannure was stated for the first time in Punjab.Results: The results display that richer earthworm variety was found in the organic farming orders as compared to the normal farming methods. The correlation analysis of earthworm bounty with the physicochemical limits of soil in different cultivation systems revealed that the profusion of earthworms in organic farming plan shows positive but non-meaningful correlation with pH, nitrogen and potassium levels. In unoriginal farming order, significant positive equating (p=0.01) was found for basic carbon, energetic conductivity and nitrogen.Conclusion: The findings concerning this encourage exchanging from conventional to farming without chemicals practices. These practices not only increase earthworm diversity, but enrich the soil accompanying many major and calculating-nutrients. The farming practices which are earthworm-friendly endure be adopted for unending soil productivity.
