Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the year 2017-18 at College farm, AICRP on Integrated Farming Systems unit, PJTSAU, Hyderabad to study the productivity, nutrient uptake and post harvest soil nutrient status in cropping systems for different farming systems under irrigated dry situation in light textured soils of Southern Telangana Zone (STZ), Telangana state. In the context of farming systems, under high value crops, okra–marigold–beetroot system recorded significantly higher rice grain equivalent yield (RGEY) (38761 kg ha-1) over other systems. Among the ecological cropping systems for improving soil health, Bt cotton + greengram (1:3) - groundnut cropping system was recorded significantly higher RGEY (13,293 kg ha-1) compared to pigeonpea + greengram (1:7) – sesame cropping system. Out of the two systems tested to meet the household nutritional security, pigeonpea + maize (1:3) – groundnut system recorded higher RGEY (13850 kg ha-1). Within the two fodder crops/cropping systems, fodder maize – lucerne system was resulted in higher RGEY (8460 kg ha-1). Rice - maize and Bt cotton which were the pre-dominant cropping systems of the region wherein rice – maize system recorded comparatively higher RGEY (11783 kg ha-1) than Bt cotton (1.08). Fodder systems were found to be more exhaustive than all other cropping systems. However, the changes in physic-chemical properties and soil fertility status were not significantly affected at the end of crop season.
