The treatment cocopeat+ red soil+ FYM + sand (40: 30: 20: 10) recorded lowest albedo (7.24), average transmisivity (47.98%), media reflectivity (2.82), and highest absorptivity (47.60). Highest albedo (8.82), transmisivity (52.47%), reflectivity (3.13) with low Absorptivity (41.83) were observed in the treatment red soil + sand (80: 20) during 2012. Almost similar trend was observed in subsequent year (2013).
