Conventional tillage (CT) increases the soil erosion and degradation processes, which causes<br />

significant losses in soil carbon content and ultimately promote the deterioration <strong>of</strong> different soil<br />

properties (Indoria et al., 2017). It has been reported that if appropriate soil management<br />

technologies such as conservation agriculture is adopted in rainfed areas for the improvement <strong>of</strong><br />

soil organic content and associated soil physical properties especially bulk density and porosity,<br />

the productivity <strong>of</strong> rainfed crops can be significantly improved (Indoria et al., 2017). At the same<br />

time, adequate supply <strong>of</strong> the mineral nitrogen could be one <strong>of</strong> the soil management practices in<br />

semi-arid tropical climate for improvement <strong>of</strong> soil environment. Crop response to mineral N<br />

involves increase in CO2 fixation and more above and below ground root biomass production.S<br />

oil bulk density can affect the seedling emergence, root growth and thus crop production (Blanco<br />

Canqui and Ruis, 2018). It can also influence the soil porosity. Therefore, this study was aimed<br />

to assess the impact <strong>of</strong> different tillage practices and Nfertilizer levels on soil total carbon, bulk<br />

density and porosity in different soil depths in maize-pigeonpea crop rotation under semi-arid<br />

tropical climate.<br />
