Abstract:

The investigations were carried through a series of experiments in two years to confirm the results of two cropping sequences with application of three fertilizer levels. Wheat planted after soybean produced batter biological yield (6470.33 kg ha-1), maximum harvest index (42.14%), satisfactory grain yield (2763.33 kg ha-1) and higher N-uptake (119.26 kg ha-1). The increased levels of nitrogen and phosphorus at 150-50 NP kg ha-1 respectively increased biological yield (7235.50 kg ha-1), harvest index (44.18%), grain yield (319819 kg ha-1) and N-uptake (114.01 kg ha-1).The better yield and soil fertility could he obtained by the inclusion of leguminous crop at least once in a two year cropping sequence, because leguminous crops enrich soil fertility by fixing environmental nitrogen in their root nodules. which in turn supply residual food nutrients to the succeeding crop.
