Following the industrial revolution in the nineteenth century, agricultural machinery and tractors became available for tillage operations. Different types of tillage systems have different tillage depths and capacity to change soil physical properties that affect the crop yield and quality. Important soil physical properties such as bulk density, penetration resistance, water infiltration, hydraulic conductivity and soil compaction are affected by tillage. A study on the effect of various tillage methods on soil compaction was conducted during Rabi season of 2013-14 at village Ladwa, Hisar, Haryana (India). Experiment compared the yield, plant and soil parameters of no tillage and tillage with rotavator + subsoiler. Higher soil resistance was found in zero tillage (T1) as compared to treatment rotavator + subsoiler (T2). | Plant growth and yield response of tillage in wheat crop with rotavator and subsoiler combination and no tillage
