ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during 1978-81 to study the effects of green manure (Sesbania aculeata) incorporation in wetland rice and maize on soil physical properties, and root growth and yield of following wheat on a loamy sand soil under sub-tropical climate of northern India. Application of green manure td wetland rice increased the water stable aggregates, reduced the soil bulk density and increased infiltration rate. The effects of green manure in maize were relatively small.
