A field experiment was conducted from 2008-09 to 2014-15 under All India Coordinated Research Project on Integrated Farming System at Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, Assam, to evaluate the effect of organic (alone), inorganic (alone) and integrated nutrient management on soil properties and productivity of rainfed winter rice (Oryza sativa L.)toria [Brassica rapa subsp. Dichotoma (Roxb.) Honalt]blackgram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] system. The highest rice-equivalent yield (8.91 t/ha) was recorded with the application of 100% NPK through organic sources plus intercropping with wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during the winter (rabi) season and okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] during the summer. Application of 100% recommended dose of fertil- izer (RDF) through FYM, vermicompost and mustard seed-cake in the rice during the rainy (kharif) season, fol- lowed by toria + wheat during rabi and blackgram + okra during the summer season resulted in the maximum av- erage uptake of N, P and K (95.5, 20.1 and 84.9 kg/ha respectively). Bacteria, fungi and Actinomycetes counts as well as microbial biomass carbon in soil were the highest (253 104, 137 104, 195 104 and 163.95 ?g/g re- spectively) in the organic management having 100% supply of nutrients through 1/ FYM + 1/ vermicompost + 1/ 3 3 3 mustard seed cake (MSC) along with 3.5 kg/ha each of Azospirillum/Azotobacter and phosphate-solubilizing bac- teria. The highest dehydrogenase, phosphatase and urease activity in soil was also observed in the same treat- ment. Full dose of NPK through organic sources to ricetoriablackgram sequence intercropping with wheat dur- ing the winter (rabi) and okra during the summer registered the highest earthworm count (25 numbers per m3).References
