Abstract: A two years field study was carried out at NEBCRC, GBPUA&T, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand to evaluate the Yield and soil fertility in pigeonpea based cropping system under different fertility levels in Mollisol of Tarai region of Uttarakhand. Results reveals that Maximum pigeon pea yield (1216 and 1892 kg/ha) and soil fertility parameters viz. available Nitrogen (218.00 and 223.11 kg/ha), phosphorus (20.94 and 21.23 kg/ha), potassium (215.45 and 271.78 kg/ha), organic carbon (0.86 and 0.88 %), PSB population (19.36 and 20.20 x 106) and dehydroginase activity (197.11 and 199.36 µg TPF/24h/g soil) was recorded in Pigeonpea + Urd cropping system than sole and Pigeonpea + Maize cropping system. Application of RDF + vermi @ 2.5 t/ha found as effective as RDF + FYM @ 5.0 t/ha and improved yield and residual soil fertility than RDF alone. Seed inoculation with PSB increased the yield and soil fertility status of soil over no inoculation.
