Abstract
A field experiment was conducted from 2015-16 to 2021-22 at the Centre for Research on IFS, S.D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar to study the Impact possibility of organic, inorganic and integrated production systems for crop productivity and soil fertility. Crop sequence Groundnut- wheat-greengram recorded significantly highest groundnut equivalent yield (4886 kg/ha) with application of RDF + 10 t/ha FYM once in year, The percent increase in average of three cropping sequences was about 39.1 % in soil organic carbon, 4.1 % in soil available nitrogen, 1.6 % in available phosphorus, 7.2 % in available soil potash, 26.1% in Fe, 22% in Mn, 15.1% in Zn and 64.7% in Cu, while 9.9 % increase in soil water holding capacity and 2.1 % decrease in bulk density, highest microbial counts (bacteria, Actinomycetes and Fungi) under 100 % organic treatment over treatment of State recommendations + 10 FYM/ha once in a year.
