Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Agriculture Research Station, Kalaburagi, University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur, conducted during rabi 2016-17. To study the “Physical and biological properties of soil as under conservation agriculture practices in chickpea cropâ€. The experiment was laid out in Split plot design with four replications, six treatments, three main plots and two sub plots. The experimental results revealed that Zero Tillage with residue retention significantly recorded higher the physical properties such as porosity (52.50 %), maximum water holding capacity (39.01 %), mean weight diameter (1.11 %) and aggregate stability (75.38 %), and also higher number of soil bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes population higher in zero tillage with residue retention over conventional tillage. Higher bulk density was recorded in conventional tillage with residue.
