Maintenance of proper tilth

Soil tilth can be maintained on normal soil by following measures;-

1. Use of mulch to protect the soil aggregates from direct action of raindrop and wind.
2. Proper and timely intercultivation in the field to different depth to prevent hard pan formation.
3. On problematic soils use of soil conditioner and amendments over long period of time.
4. Proper crop rotation should be followed.
