abstract
An experiment was conducted in field of clay textured soil during Kharif & Rabi season of three consecutive years from 2018-19 to 2020-21 at Agricultural Research Sub Station, Aklera to evaluate nutrient management in soybean based double cropping systems under residual moisture The experiment was laid out in split plot design consisting of three level of cropping system i.e. Soybean-Chickpea, Soybean-coriander and Soybean-Linseed in Main plots and six levels of nutriment managements practices i.e. 100% RDF (Inorganic), 100% RDF (Inorganic) + Sulphur @ 10 kg ha^-1, 75% RDF (inorganic) + 25% through FYM, 75% RDF (inorganic) + 25% through FYM + Sulphur @ 10 kg ha^-1, 50% RDF (inorganic) + 50% through FYM and 50% RDF (inorganic) + 50% through FYM + Sulphur @ 10 kg ha^-1. The results of experiments shown that under different cropping system Soybean-Chickpea results significantly highest system productivity (3594 kg ha^-1), system Net return (81583/- ha^-1) and B:C ratio (2.02) as compared to other treatments. Among nutrient management practices, application of nutrient as 50% RDF (inorganic) + 50% through FYM + Sulphur @ 10 kg ha^-1 gave maximum system productivity (3285 kg ha^-1), Maximum System net return (Rs. 72881/- ha^-1) & highest B:C ratio (1.94) which were found at par with the application of 50% RDF (inorganic) + 50% through FYM as (3208 kg ha^-1), (Rs. 70467/- ha^-1) & (1.91), respectively.
