Abstract
An agronomic investigation for four consecutive years during 2012–13 to 2015–16 was conducted at Pantnagar (India) to investigate the effect of tillage and nutrient management options on different soil properties in wheat under lowland rice-wheat cropping system. Three tillage treatments viz., conventional tillage (CT) without chiseling, chiseling followed by CT and chiseling followed by rotavator and three nutrient management options [100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), combined application of 100% RDF along with FYM @ 15 tonnes ha−1 and 125% RDF combined with FYM] were laid out in strip plot design. Chiseling before either disk harrowing or rotavator in tillage and application of 125% RDF of nutrients along with FYM was efficiently improved the rhizospheric environment in terms of various physical, chemical and biological soil properties for growing wheat crop grown after harvesting of lowland puddled rice.
