abstract = "Conventional tillage systems are performed over a long period for the production of a given crop. In convectional tillage, seedbeds are prepared well by clearing surface residues and the interruption of weed, insect and the breaking of root limiting soil layers. The influence of convectional tillage on soil adhesion, plasticity and cohesion in a loamy soil was investigated in this study. The study was conducted at Use Offot in Uyo Local Government Area. The soil in the study area was classified as loamy soil. The tillage implements which their influence were studied include 4-bottom disc plough and offset disc harrow. The soil adhesion, plasticity and cohesion properties were analyzed using tillage depths of 0-20 and 20-30 cm. The results show that the values of these properties were higher for the before tillage operation compared to the values of these properties for the after tillage operations. ANOVA and Turkey’s tests indicate that there is no significant effect of conventional tillage on soil adhesion, plasticity and cohesion in a loamy soil.",
