 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was conducted during two consecutive years of 2018-19 and 2019-20 entitled effect of different cropping sequences on soil health under irrigated condition in Madhya Pradesh. Higher soil organic carbon noted that green gram – chickpea – green gram (7.03 -7.06 and 7.02 to 7.04 g kg-1) during 2018–19 and 2019–20, respectively. With respect to soil pH it was changes in soil pH (7.53 to 7.56), highest available NPK, highest number of total bacterial counts (45.57 and 46.49 105 x cfu g-1 soil), fungi (31.00 and 31.42 10-3 x cfu g-1 soil) and actinomycetes (7.63 and 7.72 10-3 x cfu g-1 soil) under green gram – chickpea – green gram cropping sequence as compared to rest of the cropping sequence.

Keywords: Soil properties, Available NPK, Total bacteria, Fungi and Actinomycetes.
