The effects of four tillage-mulch systems on some soil physico-chemical properties of an Ultisol under cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) cultivation were investigated from the year 2004 to 2005. The tillage-mulch treatments consisted of tilled-mulched (TM), untilled-mulched (UM), tilled-unmulched (TU), and untilled-unmulched (UU) (control) plot. Differences in the infiltration rate and bulk density of the treated plots were significant at P
