Abstract: The long term effect of FYM and vermicompost under pearl millet-chickpea cropping sequenceon soil physical and chemical properties was studied during 2013 to 2018 on fixed site at research farm of Bajra Research Scheme, College of Agriculture, Dhule. The soil physical properties viz. hydraulic conductivity, mean weight diameter and soil chemical properties viz. soil pH, electrical conductivity, available N in soil, available K in soil were significantly influenced in the treatment of 100% RDN through FYM as compared to the treatment receiving 100% RDF through inorganic fertilizers at the end of 6th cycle of pearl millet-chickpea cropping sequence. The hydraulic conductivity (0.64 mm hr-1) and mean weight diameter (0.61 mm) were significantly increased in the treatment of 100% RDN through FYM (T3). The soil pH (7.40) and electrical conductivity (0.33 dSm-1) were significantly decreased and soil available N (244 kg ha-1) and K (273 kg ha-1) were significantly increased in the treatment of 100% RDN through FYM (T3) as compared to the treatment receiving 100% RDF through inorganic fertilizers (T2).
