The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design in three replications with ten treatments are as follows: RDF+2.5% K-sap, RDF+5% K sap, RDF+7.5% K sap, RDF+10% K sap, RDF+2.5% G sap, RDF+5% G sap, RDF+7.5% G sap, RDF+10% G sap, RDF+water spray, 50% RDF+6.25% K sap. The sowing date of Berseem variety-JB-5 were sown on 17 th November, 2012 and 19 th November of 2013. The highest GFY and DMY were recorded with the application of RDF with 10% G sap (613.45 and 83.24 q ha-1) followed by application of RDF+10% K sap (607.35 and 82.01 q ha-1), similarly the maximum seed yield and stover yield were recorded with the application of RDF with 10% G sap (4.72 and 62.36 q ha-1) followed by application of RDF+10% K sap (4.07 and 60.59 q ha-1), respectively due to presence of growth promoting hormones (Auxins, Cytokinins, Gibberellins), trace elements, vitamins, amino acids, antibiotics and micronutrients in these saps. The higher crude protein yield and crude fiber yield were observed under application of 10% G sap+RDF (11.67 and 15.10 q ha-1) followed by10% K sap+RDF (11.83 and 15.34 q ha-1).

To begin with the estimated range of moisture requirement required to attain sowing moisture for different soil type was determined. For loamy sand soil an application range of aqueous fertilizer was 0.15-092 liter per meter for raising moisture from 3 to 7% to germination moisture of 14 per cent. Whereas, for sandy loam soil the same was 0.17-1.34 liter per meter for raising moisture from 4 to 12 % to germination moisture of 20 per cent and for loam soil it was 0.23-1.59 liter per meter for raising moisture from 8 to 16 % to germination moisture of 27 per cent. Based on estimation, an aqueous fertilizer requirement of 5500 to 8000 l/ ha was required in experimental field with clay loam soil. To optimize different pump variables for required discharge rate five levels of pump rotational speeds i.e. 1998, 1665, 1332, 999 and 666 rpm, four levels of line pressure staring from fully opened valve i.e. gauge pressure of 0 kg/cm 2, by reducing valve opening area up to 2, 4 and 6 kg/cm 2 and three levels of nozzle sizes i.e. 8, 10 and 12 mm were taken. Pump rotational speed influenced discharge directly in a linear manner at fully opened valve for all pump speeds for each nozzle. As line pressure increased the discharge rate decreased. A reduction to the flow of 2 to 6 times was obtained by creating the line pressure through control valve at rotational speed of 1998 to 666 rpm. The selected design values for pressurized pumping system were pump rotational speed from 666, 999, 1332 and 1665 rpm, line pressure of 0, 2 or 4 kg/cm 2 and nozzle size of 10 mm.

The study revealed the maximum chlorophyll accumulation in Barley and wheat during the initial stage at 95 DAS and wheat and barley during the reproductive stage at 30 DAS. Cutting at 50 DAS is proved beneficial on chlorophyll accumulation. Photosynthetic rate was maximum in wheat at 90 DAS. However cutting did not affect photosynthesis rate stomatal conductance and transpiration rate. Barley gave maximum fodder yield (fresh/day). Cutting at 50 DAS was beneficial in producing maximum forage yield without sacrificing grain yield of cereal crops.

Vertisols are characterized by more clay content, swell-shrink behavior, high water holding capacity, poor drainage and creaking on drying which results in narrow workability and high erodibility causes soil and nutrients loses, whereas, high CEC and inter-layer spacing in minerals results in fixation of cationic nutrients and nature of self inversion causes low organic carbon content. Potential of different crop establishment method under soybean-wheat cropping system for nutrients recycling through crop residue management was also studied to highlight the importance of crop residue recycling. It is concluded that planting of soybean and wheat on permanent beds and with no-till along with retention of crop residue on surface has been more effective and remunerative.
