Abstract: Exploitive agriculture involving nutrient input far below the quantities removed by the crops coupled with excessive tillage and indiscriminate use of irrigation water led to serious soil health problems over the years. Widespread multi-nutrient deficiencies and increased soil compaction have emerged as major constraints affecting crop productivity and farm profits. As significant increase in fertiliser consumption seems unlikely in foreseeable future due to economic and ecological reasons, the need for enhancement of nutrient use efficiency through tillage and nutrient management practices were felt more intensely than ever before. The study undertaken in in wheat preceded by rice environments has established the benefits of tillage and nutrient management. Present article overviews the significance of different tillage practices with nutrient management in improving soil properties, nutrient use efficiency and crop productivity. Therefore, we conclude that FIRB 75 cm RSR + EFR under tillage and nutrient management system were influence significantly the growth, yield attributes and yields of wheat as compared to FIRB 37 RSR+RFR alone practices under subtropical climatic conditions.
