Summary:A long term field experiment on Influence of different nutrient management practices and cropping systems on physico-chemical properties in Vertisol of Northern Transition Zone of Karnataka was initiated in 2004-05 on a Typic Haplustert. Organic manure application to the soil for long duration recorded favorable values for maximum water holding capacity (65.4%), bulk density (1.14 Mgm^sup -3^), porosity (56.5%), aggregate stability (66.8%) when compared to other nutrient management practices. Similarly chemical properties like soil pH (7.5), EC (1.13 dSm^sup -1^), CEC [51.5 cmol (p^sup +^) kg^sup -1^] and CaCO^sub 3^ (2.1%) recorded favorable values for plant growth when compared to inorganic nutrient management practices.
