Saeed B. Saeed¹., El Amin Waleed² M. and El Tom Osman³ A.

Abstract:

The use of tillage on Vertisols This pattern is measured by the diameter when the cracks are open had an adverse of the polygons (or islands) subtended by effect on the soil moisture content in the rain fed areas. It was found that the unploughed sites recieved more rain water than did the ploughed sites ,but the increase was not significant in the first rains and significat as the rains increased. This difference in soil moisture content continued to the end of the rainy season.
