“…The bulk density of soils varied from 1.35 to 1.48 (mean 1.43) Mg m -3 , from 1.30 to 1.41 (mean 1.33) Mg m -3 , from 1.35 to 1.49 (mean 1.40) Mg m -3 , from 1.30 to 1.42 (mean 1.35) Mg m -3 , from 1.32 to 1.42 (mean 1.37) and from 1.36 to 1.49 (mean 1.44) Mg m -3 for RW, RC, RM, RP, RL, and RF cropping system, respectively (Table 1). The higher amount of added biomass from leguminous crops made soil loose, porous and less squeezed therefore, the lower bulk density was found under rice-legume cropping system (RC and RP)) (Husnjak et al, 2002;Rahman et al, 2007;Kumar et al, 2018aKumar et al, , 2019bKumar et al, , 2020.…”

“…The porosity of soils under RC cropping system was higher than that of soils under RM, RP, RL, and RF cropping systems. Legume based cropping systems is having high carbon sequestration capacity that make soil become more porous and loose than that of other cropping systems (Kumar et al, 2018a(Kumar et al, , 2019b(Kumar et al, , 2020…”

“…Therefore the SMC of rice-legume cropping system (RC and RL) was higher than other cropping system of RW and RF. (Rahman et al, 2007and Alam and Salahin 2013and Kumar et al, 2018a, 2019b, 2020.…”

“…Rice-legume cropping system (RC and RL) having high root mass density, mean root diameter, root diameter diversity and the percentage of fine roots was all positively linked to the stability of soil aggregates by increasing soil organic carbon content. Higher root biomass of leguminous crops helped to accumulation of higher amount of soil organic carbon through roots and leaf-fall with increased macro-aggregate formation (Kumar et al, 2018a(Kumar et al, , 2019b(Kumar et al, , 2020…”

“…It must be extremely major to set up a basic, delicate and achievable strategy for assessing soil quality (Aparicio and Costa 2007;Dumanski and Pieri 2000). Soil quality indicators should consolidate physical, chemical, and biological attributes (Karlen et al, 1998;Aparicio and Costa 2007and Kumar et al, 2018a, 2019b, 2020. As indicated by reports, when directing SQ examines, the accompanying qualities are reasonable for use as SQ markers: (a) Physical attributes, for example, surface, mass thickness, water maintenance, air penetrability, compressibility, pressure driven qualities, collection state, consistency qualities and surface outside layer; (b) Chemical properties, for example, pH, salt substance, all out natural carbon, dissolvable carbon, mineral nitrogen, complete phosphorus, extractable ammonium, nitrate, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, follow components, contaminants and cations ability to change; (c) Korea District is the part of Chhattisgarh state of India and classified under hot humid eastern plateau of Agro-climatic zone of the country.…”

Sustaining soil health is an important task under changing scenario of climate and intensive cultivation. Therefore, a study was conducted on the Alfisols under rice-based cropping system of Korea district of Chhattisgarh in order to assess soil physical and chemical properties and to identify sustainable rice-based cropping" system in the area. Six "most prominent cropping sequences were" identified i.e. rice-wheat (RW), rice-chickpea (RC), rice-field pea (RP), rice-mustard (RM), rice-linseed (RL) and rice-fallow (RF). Stratified-random "soil sampling was done from the 10% of the total villages in the" district. In each village, "based on the cropping" system, soil "samples were taken from Alfisols. Soil physical and chemical properties have been evaluated among cropping" system using descriptive statistics. Among the cropping systems BD was higher in RW cropping" system, compared to RC, RP and RL. Other soil physical properties i.e. porosity, AWHC, "SMC and MWD were higher for soils under" rice-legume (RC and RP) cropping systems, than that of soils under" RW, RM and RF. Similarly soil chemical properties such as" OC available N, P, K, S and micronutrient Zn and B were found to be higher for soils under" rice-legume cropping system (RC and RP), compared to soils under" RW, RM and RF. From the descriptive statistics results it is concluded, that soil properties were sustain better for rice-legume cropping system (RC and RP) than that of soils under RW, RM, RL, and RF.

Context Rice-based cropping system is a key for food security in the Indian subcontinent. However, the productivity of such systems has declined continuously due to deterioration in soil quality. The present study was carried out to identify key soil quality indicators and to develop indices of soil quality under long-term rice-based cropping systems in the hot sub-humid eco-region (HSE) of India. Methods Surface soil samples were collected from farmers’ field from two soil orders (Vertisols and Inceptisols) and with four long-term rice-based cropping systems: (1) rice-wheat (RW); (2) rice-chickpea (RC); (3) rice-lathyrus (RL); and (4) rice-fallow (RF). A minimum data set (MDS) of 24 soils attributes were screened to identify soil quality indicators using principal components analysis (PCA), and soil quality index (SQI) was determined. Key results The MDS indicators (in descending order of sensitivity) are field capacity (FC) (35.4%) followed by pH (30.5%) > porosity (13.6%) > potentially mineralisable carbon (PMC) (11.8%) > available boron (AB) (8.7%). Soil moisture content under FC was found as the most sensitive indicator affecting soil quality and rice equivalent yields (REY). The SQI of Vertisols (0.83) was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than Inceptisols (0.73). SQI under RC (0.86) cropping systems was significantly higher than RL (0.81), RW (0.76) and RF (0.78) (P < 0.05). Conclusions The inclusion of legumes (chickpea and lathyrus) into cropping systems sustained better soil quality and productivity. Implications SQI is not only useful for assessing soil health but also provides indicators of best-bet management practices for sustaining intensive cultivation.
