Monitoring of Soil Properties and Crop Performance (Rice) under Different Rice-based Cropping Systems

An experiment on rice-based cropping systems to monitor the soil properties and crop performance (Rice) was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm in Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture Technology, Kumarganj (Ayodhya, U.P.) during 2020-21 Complete Randomized Block Design with seven treatments three replications. Seven patterns viz; rice-wheat-fallow, rice-wheat-green gram, rice-frenchbean-green rice-berseem-sudan chari, rice-cauliflower-okra, rice-potato-cowpea, rice-mustard-green gram were compared rice-rice pattern. The evaluated for their productivity & assess effect like pH, EC, organic carbon contents, matter, available NPK. results revealed that green manuring leguminous gave higher paddy yield as commonly practiced maximum rice (43.15q/ha) obtained from a pattern which comparatively than those As regards cost-benefit ratio, highest ratio received case (1:1.77) system followed by rice-frenchbean- (1:1.65) (1:1.52) against existing rice-rice. further indicated introduction or crops rice-wheat increased grain yields improved physio-chemical properties, matter nutrient availability soil. Soil pH lowered 8.3 7.97 0.38 % 0.39 %.
