Soil management practices may change the soil properties. The magnitude of the change varies according to the soil property, the climate, and the type and time of implementation of a particular management system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tillage i.e. conventional tillage (T1), reduced tillage (T2) and minimum tillage (T3) and fertilization i.e. inorganic (F1), 50% organic (F2) and organic (F3) on the chemical properties of an Inseptisol in the Indo-gangatic plain in dry land condition on available N, P, K and S determined in a field experiment having a rice (Oryza sativm) - lentil (Lenseesculentum) crop rotation. Soil samples were collected after the nine and tenth year of experimentation and were analyzed for, chemical parameters. The change in soil chemical properties was evaluated using soil samples after rice and lentil at 0-5 and 10-15 cm depth. The results showed that soil available macro nutrients like N, P, K and S were higher in surface soil (0-5 cm) as compared to sub surface soil (10-15 cm) after rice and also after lentil crop the value was higher after rice than after lentil crop.
