The effect of land use on soil physico-chemical properties were studied in four villages, viz., Nongstoin, Kynshi, Umyiap and Maweit in West Khasi Hills district, Meghalaya, under four land uses, viz., paddy, potato, forest and jhum land, in each village. The soils of the study area were acidic in reaction, high in organic carbon and low to medium in cation exchange capacity. Bulk density and particle density were lower in surface soils as compared to sub-surface soils except in some locations. The water holding capacity was greatly influenced by mechanical composition and organic matter content in soils. The mean weight diameter and per cent aggregation showed similar trend and were significantly correlated. Hydraulic conductivity under potato and jhum land uses was higher than paddy and forest land uses.Keywords

The effect of land use on soil erodibility parameters were studied in four villages, viz., Nongstoin, Kynshi, Umyiap and Maweit in West Khasi Hills district, Meghalaya, under four land uses, viz., lowland paddy, potato, forest and Jhum land, in each village. The textural class of the soils varied from silt loam to clay with dominance of clay loam texture. Dispersion ratio and erosion index were recorded to be usually higher than the threshold limits. A highly significant and negative relationship of erosion index with clay, silt + clay and highly significant and positive relationship with sand and dispersion ratio were observed. The increase in erosion index with increase in dispersion ratio indicated the susceptibility of these soils to water erosion. Proper soil and water conservation measures need to be adopted to protect the soils from further degradation.Keywords

The effect of land use on soil physico-chemical properties were studied from five land uses, viz., banana orchard, bench terrace, contour terrace, forest north-facing and forest south-facing of experimental farm of School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development (SASRD), Medziphema Campus, Nagaland University during 2014-15. The soils of the study area were acidic in reaction, varied from 4.33 to 5.00, high in organic carbon and low to medium in cation exchange capacity. Bulk density in banana orchard and forest north-facing was 8.1 per cent higher than contour terrace. Lowest particle density was found in contour terrace. The water holding capacity in forest north-facing was significantly higher over all other land uses and was influenced by mechanical composition and organic matter content in soils.Keywords

Land use effect on soil physico-chemical properties were studied in four villages, viz., Tamlu village, Tamlu town, Kangching and Namsang in Longleng district, Nagaland, under four land uses, viz., Jhum, lowland rice, forest and orange in each village. The soils were characterised by strong to moderate acidic in soil reaction (4.3 to 6.7), high in organic carbon content. The mean cation exchange capacity (CEC) ranged between 13.78 to 31.68 c mol (p+) kg-1. The mean bulk density and particle density ranged from 1.18 to 1.51 g cm-3 and 2.2 to 2.34 g cm-3, respectively which generally increased with profile depth and were influenced by organic carbon content and mechanical composition of soils. Water holding capacity (WHC) varied from 40.20 to 54.20 per cent and was higher in the soils under cultivated lowland rice land use as compared to other land uses. The maximum per cent aggregates (WSA>0.25 mm) and mean weight diameter in surface soils was found under Jhum land use. The bulk density, particle density, WHC and mean weight diameter had significant correlation with organic C.Keywords

A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of simulated erosion and the impact of organic manures on soil physico-chemical properties. The experiment was conducted in split- plot design which comprised of three levels of simulated erosion depths viz., 0, 5 and 10 cm used as the main plot. Organic manures (vermicompost, poultry manure and pig manure @ 5, 3 and 3 t-1 ha, respectively) were used as the sub plot treatment. There was a significant effect on the physico-chemical properties of soil due to erosion. The available nitrogen decreased at a rate of 2.86 and 7.81 per cent; available P decreased at a rate of 9.09 and 17.18 per cent; available K decreased at a rate of 9.52 and 15.12 per cent; organic carbon decreased at a rate of 0.07 and 0.15 per cent; CEC decreased at a rate of 2.81 and 5.48 per cent; water holding capacity decreased at the rate of 4.07 and 7.29 per cent while bulk density increased at a rate of 3.49 and 9.30 per cent and soil pH decreased at a rate of 4.12 and 7.20 per cent, respectively with subsequent removal of 5 and 10 cm topsoil as compared to control. Addition of organic manures improved the soil properties but could not entirely compensate the loss due to simulated erosion.Keywords
