Abstract
The study was conducted for two years (J989-90). Five compaction levels as number of tractor passes, viz. 0, 2. 4. 6 and 8 were tried.A basal dose ofNPK was applied @ J 20-90-60 kg ha'. During both the years, the consecutive increase in compaction significantly increased bulk density but decreased hydraulic conductivity and porosity of soil. The compaction effect was noticed to be reversed at later stage up to 4 tractor passes upon irrigation but it persisted even after harvesting of crop where 6 and 8 number of tractor passes were tried. The yield of maize fodder decreased with increasing tractor passes in both the years
