Abstract: A field experiment was undertaken in the six farmer’s fields of Purna valley with soybean crop during Kharif, 2015-16 in randomized block design, replicated six times, with four treatments comprised of only BBF, BBF + FYM @ 5 t ha^-1, BBF + gypsum @ 2.5 t ha^-1 and BBF + FYM @ 2.5 t ha^-1 + gypsum @ 1.25 t ha^-1 combined. It was found that lowest bulk density recorded under combined application of FYM and gypsum in BBF (1.53 Mg m^-3) While, highest in control (1.65 Mg m^-3) where, only BBF was followed. The hydraullic conductivity was 13.55 % more in combined application of FYM and gypsum over control where only BBF is followed. The mean weight diameter was highest (0.73 mm) with application of sole gypsum and the lowest (0.68 mm) in control. The highest soybean yield (14.03 q ha^-1) was obtained with the combined application of gypsum + FYM on BBF. Similarly considerable amount of yield was noticed in other treatments.
