A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of crop rotation and fertility schedules in isabgol based cropping systems in loamy sand soil under irrigated conditions at Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, FYM) applied as per recommendation of concerned crop, treatment NPK+FYM was found superior among all in terms of per cent organic carbon (0.10), soil available nitrogen after harvest of each crop (79.62 kg ha-1), phosphorus (15.27 kg ha-1) and potassium (154.02 kg ha-1), available zinc was found highest under NPK + Zn. Further highest yield of Kharif crops equivalent to isabgol (8.10 q ha-1), cropping systems equivalent yields (21.51 q ha-1) and gross return (Rs. 34541 ha-1) were recorded under NPK+FYM, net return (Rs. 14247 ha-1) and B:C ratio (1.88) were found highest under treatment NPK+Zn, but statistically at par to NPK+FYM.

Abstract


A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of crop rotation and fertility schedules in isabgol based cropping systems in loamy sand soil under irrigated conditions at Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, FYM) applied as per recommendation of concerned crop, treatment NPK+FYM was found superior among all in terms of per cent organic carbon (0.10), soil available nitrogen after harvest of each crop (79.62 kg ha-1), phosphorus (15.27 kg ha-1) and potassium (154.02 kg ha-1), available zinc was found highest under NPK + Zn. Further highest yield of Kharif crops equivalent to isabgol (8.10 q ha-1), cropping systems equivalent yields (21.51 q ha-1) and gross return (Rs. 34541 ha-1) were recorded under NPK+FYM, net return (Rs. 14247 ha-1) and B:C ratio (1.88) were found highest under treatment NPK+Zn, but statistically at par to NPK+FYM.
