Abstract
The present study evaluated the impact of Sardar Amin Granules (SAG) and Bentonite Sulfur (BS) on the rice-wheat cropping system, focusing on crop productivity, soil health, and nutrient dynamics for three years (2018-2021). The experiment was conducted on rice based cropping systems viz: Rice-wheat (R-W), Rice-potato-spring maize (R-P-Sp), and Rice-raya-summer moong (R-R-Sm) at research farm, department of soil science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The results revealed that at the end of two-year field experiment, there was increase in the yield of wheat, potato, raya, spring maize, and summer moong crops under the treatment including additional fertilizer sources and recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) combinations as compared to individual RDF doses (T4). The recorded equivalent yield and system productivity also followed the same trend for three years. The maximum nitrogen (N) content was observed after the harvest of wheat under T4 in R-W cropping system, while phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) were observed at the end of R-R-Sm under T6 and R-P-Sp under T8 respectively. These findings highlight the importance of integrating SAG and bentonite sulfur into conventional fertilization programs to enhance productivity and sustain soil fertility in rice-based cropping systems.
