Influence of tillage and residue management practices on productivity, sustainability, and soil biological properties of rice-barley cropping systems in indo-gangetic plain of India.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Conservation agriculture is a sustainable system of farming that safeguard and conserves natural resources besides enhancing crop production. The biological properties of soil are the most sensitive indicator to assess the short term impact of management practices such as tillage and residue incorporation.

Methods

Nine treatments of tillage and residue management practices [Reduced till direct seeded rice-zero till barley (RTDSR-ZTB); RTDSR-ZTB-green gram residue (Gg); Zero till direct seeded rice-zero till barley-zero till green gram (ZTDSR-ZTB-ZTGg); RTDSR-ZTB + rice residue at 4 t ha 1 (RTDSR-ZTB_RR4); RTDSR-ZTB_RR6; un-puddled transplanted rice (UPTR)-ZTB-Gg; UPTR-ZTB_RR4; UPTR-ZTB_RR6, and puddled transplanted rice (P
