Abstract

Conservation Agriculture Practice Systems (CAPS) is a wholistic system approach that necessitates the understanding of several soil properties and components. A soil profile is a vertical section of the of the soil exposing all of its horizons. Determination of soil profile will characterize the unique individual properties (physical, Chemical and Biological) of each horizon- a vital ingredient for a truly sustainable conservation farming.
