Abstract
The field investigation was carried out during 2014-16 to evaluate the effect of rice establishment methods and crop management practices in chickpea under rice- chickpea cropping system on soil microbial properties. In this study, three rice establishment methods (puddled transplanting rice, unpuddled transplanted rice and direct seeded rice) were laid in main plot and crop management practices (rainfed farmer’s practice, rainfed improved practice, farmer’s practice with lifesaving irrigation and improved practice with lifesaving irrigation) in sub-plot of split plot design. The rooting depth, root volume and root dry weight were higher under direct seeded treatment in all the depths, at podding stage of chickpea. The relative water content and specific leaf weight were higher under direct seeded rice establishment than unpuddled and puddled transplanted rice establishment. The relative water content and specific leaf weight were significantly affected by different nutrient Management practices. The rooting depth, root volume, dry weight of root, root: shoot ratio, number of nodule and dry weight of nodule was significantly higher in improved practice with life-saving irrigation.
