Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted on agriculture field located 2km away from NH-24 Delhi-Lucknow highway near Invertis village from Invertis university Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh). The experiment was conducted in a random manner with different combinations of organic and inorganic nutrients to know the effect of morphological characteristics, physical properties, chemical properties present in soil. At 0-15 cm depth the soil moisture content of soil in top layer was not affected significantly due to different cropping systems. However, the highest soil moisture content was recorded under guvava orchard. The maximum bulk density was recorded with cropping system Rice-wheat which remain at par with Rice-Berseem+Mustard and rice-sugarcane-ratoon-wheat. At 0-15 cm soil depth maximum porosity was recorded under the Guvava orchard which was found significantly at par with popular plantation. The lowest value of maximum porosity was found with grassland cropping system. At 15-30 cm depth the maximum porosity was recorded guvava orchard. The highest pH value was recorded under guvava orchard. The highest organic carbon was recorded under guvava orchard at both 0-15 and 15-30 cm soil depth. The maximum available nitrogen was recorded with guvava orchard at both 0-15 and 15-30 cm soil depth. At 0-15 cm soil depth the available potassium was influenced significantly due to various cropping systems. At 0-15 cm soil depth agricultural treatment CS 6 which was found statistically at par with guvava orchard and both were found to be comparable to each other. At 15-30 cm soil depth the available phosphorus among all the system was found comparable to each other. The highest available phosphorus was obtained with the agricultural (CS 6) which was followed by the popular plantation (CS 4). At 0-15 cm depth, the available sulphur was influenced significantly due to various cropping systems. The maximum available sulphur was recorded under the system guvava orchard CS 3 which was higher than rest of the treatments. At 15-30 cm soil depth, the available sulphur was affected significantly due to various cropping systems. The maximum value of available sulphur was obtained with the system Guava orchard (CS 3). Agricultural (CS 6) which remained at par with guvava orchard (CS 3) and both these treatments were found significantly superior over the rest of the systems.
