Abstract: The present investigation was conducted during kharif 2017-18 with a view to study the effect of conservation and conventional tillage practices on yield and nutrient uptake by cotton under soybean-cotton rotation in Vertisol executed at Research Farm, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola with an objective to study the effect of tillage and IPNS on yield and Nutrient uptake by Cotton. The experiment was carried out with main plot comprises two treatments i.e. conservation tillage (one harrowing and two weeding) and conventional tillage (one ploughing, one harrowing, two hoeing and two hand weeding) and eight sub plot treatments of integrated plant nutrient system consisting of control, 100 per cent RDF and use of chemical fertilizer along with organic source of nutrient in which 50 per cent N applied through organic sources (FYM, wheat straw, glyricidia leaf manuring (GLM), composted cotton straw, vermicompost and phosphocompost) and remaining N was applied through chemical fertilizers. The experiment was framed in randomised block design with three replications. The results of present experiment indicated that, significantly highest seed cotton yield was recorded with the application of phosphocompost in conjunction with chemical fertilizers (13.71 q ha-1) followed by FYM (13.38 q ha-1), glyricidia leaf manuring (GLM) (13.32 q ha-1) and vermicompost (13.19 q ha-1). Among tillage practices, the seed cotton and cotton stalk yield were influenced significantly with the adoption of conservation tillage as compared to conventional tillage. The uptake of N, P and K were increased significantly with the application of phosphocompost in conjunction with chemical fertilizers followed by FYM, glyricidia leaf manuring (GLM) and vermicompost.
