Abstract: A field experiment were conducted for two consecutive rabi seasons during 2017-18 and 2018-19 at Soil Conservation and Water Management farm, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology Kanpur- 200 802 on Gangatic alluvial soil having 7.6 pH, light textured soil with medium soil fertility. Treatments comprises of viz., 3- preparatory tillage 1) T1 - one cross ploughing with cultivator, 2) T2 - one ploughing with disc harrow + one cross ploughing with cultivator and 3) T3- one ploughing with disc harrow + one pass with rotavator, 3- nutrient management practices i.e. 1.) N1-100% RDF (60 Kg N ha-1 + 30 Kg P2O5 ha-1+ 30 Kg K2O ha-1) (through chemical fertilizer), 2.) N2-75% RDF (through chemical fertilizer) + 25% FYM (Farm yard manure) and 3.) N3-50% RDF (through chemical fertilizer) +50% FYM (Farm yard manure) and 3- moisture conservation practices viz., 1.) M1- Control, 2.) M2- dust mulch and 3.) M3--pinoxaden 5.1 EC @ 50 g ha-1 + VAM @ 15 Kg ha-1) was researches. It is clear from the results of two year experimentation that sowing of barley crop in plots where preparatory tillage, T3- one ploughing with disc harrow + one pass with rotavator, nutrient applied as N3-50% RDF (through chemical fertilizer) + 50% FYM (farm yard manure) and moisture conservation practices of M3-pinoxaden 5EC @ 50 g/ha. + VAM @ 15 Kg/ha brought out the maximum values of grain yield, straw yield, biological yield, fresh and dry weight of barley observed during both the years of study respectively followed by T2- one ploughing with disc harrow + one cross ploughing with cultivator, N2 treatment- 75% RDF + 25% FYM and M2- dust mulch, and minimum values of treatments i.e., T1 - one cross ploughing with cultivator, N1-100% RDF (60 Kg N ha-1 + 30 Kg P2O5 ha-1+ 30 Kg K2O ha-1) (through chemical fertilizer) and moisture conservation practices of M1-control treatment in both year respectively.
