“…According to Biswas et al [65], UA and BD changed through soil management practices are of a good quality indicators in Inceptisol. However, although SOC was selected as a good soil indicator by many researchers [27,66,67], in our study, SOC had a lower factor loading value than SMBC. SMBC also had a strong significant correlation with SOC; hence, SMBC was taken for the MDS.…”

“…In addition, SMBC is strongly influenced by management factors in the short term, thus it provides an indication of the soil's functions, i.e., ability to store and recycle nutrients and energy. It also serves as a sensitive indicator of change in organic matter levels and its equilibrium [21,62,67]. The set of indicators chosen for MDS should be easily measurable; cost-effective; and vary with crop, soil, and climatic conditions [21,43,67].…”

“…The highest SQI was recorded for the cropping systems with legume crops and for nutrients applied along with the crop residue. Legume cropd and their residues have been well known to enhance soil fertility through soil N 2 -fixation, nutrient recycling, falling leaves, and root exudates, thereby sustaining productivity [11,14,46,67], which is evident from the value of SQI, which was higher in the cropping systems with legume crops in their sequence.…”

Crop diversity through residue incorporation is the most important method for sustaining soil health. A field study was conducted over five consecutive years (2012–2017) to see the impact of residue incorporartions in Inceptisol of eastern India. The main plot treatments had five cropping systems (CS), namely, fallow−rice−rice (FRR), jute−rice−wheat (JRW), jute−rice−baby corn (JRBc), jute−rice−vegetable pea (JRGp), jute−rice−mustard−mungbean/green gram (JRMMu), which cinsisted of four sub-plots with varied nutrient and crop residue management (NCRM) levels, namely crops with no residue +75% of the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) (F1R0), crops with the residue of the previous crops +75% RDF (F1R1), crops with no resiude +100% RDF (F2R0), and crops with residue +100% RDF (F2R1). The highest system productivity was obtained for JRBc (15.3 Mg·ha−1), followed by JRGp (8.81 Mg·ha−1) and JRMMu (7.61 Mg·ha−1); however, the highest sustainability index was found with the JRGp cropping system (0.88), followed by JRMMu (0.82). Among the NCRMs, the highest productivity (8.78 Mg·ha−1) and sustainability index (0.83) were recorded in F2R1. Five soil parameters, namely, bulk density, available K, urease activity, dehydrogenase activity, and soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC), were used in the minimum data-set (MDS) for the calculation of the soil quality index (SQI). The best attainment of SQI was found in the JRGp system (0.63), closely followed by the JRMMu (0.61) cropping system.

“…Based on some other studies, it has been established that the conservation agriculture and conjunctive nutrient-management practices significantly and positively improved various soil physico-chemical, chemical, physical and biological properties under different cropping systems viz. sorghum-mung bean (Sharma et al 2015b;Sharma et al 2016a), pearlmillet based system (Sharma et al 2014a), maize-blackgram system (Sharma et al 2019), rainfed maizewheat system (Sharma et al 2014b), maizewheat (Sharma et al 2015), fingermillet / groundnut -fingermillet system (Sharma et al 2016b), cotton / cotton + blackgram system (Sharma et al 2011;Maruthi Sankar et al 2012 ), rainfed pigeonpea + rice system (Behera et al 2012) fingermillet based system (Sharma et al 2018). In most of these studies, higher soil quality index was obtained with conjunctive nutrient-management practices.…”

The soils in the rainfed region are at the verge of degradation by virtue of several regions. The major reasons which degrade soil quality and deteriorate its productive capacity could be: i) washing away of topsoil and organic matter associated with clay size fractions due to water erosion, ii) intensive deep tillage and inversion tillage with moldboard and disc plough resulting in a) fast decomposition of remnants of crop residues which is catalyzed by high temperature, b) breaking of stable soil aggregates and aggravating the process of oxidation of entrapped organic C and c) disturbance to the habitat of soil microflora and fauna and loss in microbial diversity, iii) less use of fertilizers and widening of plant nutrients removal-use gap , iv) mining and other commercial activities such as use of top soil for other than agricultural purpose, v) mono cropping without following any suitable rotation, vi) nutrient imbalance caused due to disproportionate use of primary, secondary and micronutrients, vii) no or low use of organic manures and poor recycling of farm based crop residues viii) no or low green manuring ix) poor nutrient use efficiency x) indiscriminate use of other agricultural inputs such as herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, etc., , xi) water logging, salinity and alkalinity and acid soils.As a result of several above-mentioned reasons, soils encounter diversity of constraints broadly on account of physical, chemical and biological soil health and ultimately low productivity. Amidst climatic variation and climatic change, there are likelihoods of occurring more degradation of soil resource. Under such situation, conservation agriculture and other resource conservation practices have proved quite effectivein protecting thesoil fromfurther degradation andin restoration of soil quality. This review paper deals withdifferent aspectsof soil quality management through conservation agriculture and other resource conservation techniques.
