Abstract: A field trail was carried out during kharif season of 2010 and 2011 on sandy loam soil under (IRRI-SVPUA&T Meerut, Uttar Pradesh) collaborative research project to evaluate crop yield and soil properties under different micro irrigation systems and tillage methods under direct seeded rice in a split plot design. Above study had showed that different micro irrigation system non-significant effect but numerically sprinkler irrigation system with reduce tillage performance better in the line of producing more yield over flood irrigation, Drip & Chaplin respectively in both the year. Moreover flood irrigation under interaction of zero tillage improved water intake. While the effect of different irrigation systems and tillage practices on soil physical properties was found non-significant. But it was not clear from data which irrigation system with tillage practice is best because most of interaction effect comes non-significant. Micro irrigation system could be batter option for rice growing particularly in those areas where ground water declivity was rapidly. For study of micro irrigation system and tillage options on soil properties may be require long term experiments.
