Sub-surface Compaction for Coarse Textured Soils

Implementing Organization

Indian Institute of Soil Science (IISS)
Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute (CMERI)

Project Overview

It increases moisture retentivity and thus moisture content. The effect persist even during the following rabi crops. It increases crop yield. It has also been found useful in reducing the infestation of white-grub, termite attacks on pearl millet crop and offer frost resistance to tomato and chilli crops. About 20-25% saving of nitrogen, potassium, zinc, sulphur and other nutrients for various kharif and rabi crops and two irrigations for wheat crops can be made with compaction treatment.
