“…Among the different soil orders, the maximum EC (0.23 dS m −1 ) was observed in the profile of order Aridisol while the minimum (0.17 dS m −1 ) was under soil order Inceptisol. The greater EC under Aridisol may be due to its higher evaporation, leading to the deposition of soluble salts [32]. The higher EC under Aridisols might primarily be also due to greater accumulation of salts in soils [1].…”

“…The lower content of OC in Aridisols might also be due to reduced biological activity, resulting in the declined rate of OM addition corresponding to existing arid conditions [32]. However, higher OC in soils of Entisols and Inceptisols was attributed to appropriate availability of moisture that resulted in the better growth of vegetation.…”

The agricultural production in Punjab has increased manifold that aggravated the deficiencies of micronutrients in soils and plants. The availability of soil micronutrients in different soil orders depends upon the soil mineralogy, topography, climatic conditions and cropping sequences. Hence, to study the pedospheric variations of DTPA-extractable micronutrients, viz., zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu), in three prominent soil orders of Punjab, a total of 144 depth-wise soil samples were collected from four major land-use systems (cultivated, horticulture, forest and pasture lands). The DTPA extractable micronutrients varied from 1.74–2.81, 1.83–2.82 and 1.81–2.80 for Zn; 5.3–6.8, 5.6–6.9, 4.3–6.3 for Fe; 5.1–7.8, 5.5–7.9, 5.4–7.5 for Mn; and 0.84–1.40, 0.93–1.68, 0.87–1.65 for Cu in soil orders Aridisol, Entisol and Inceptisol, respectively. The average content of DTPA-extractable micronutrients was highest under soil order Entisol followed by Inceptisol and Aridisol. The content of micronutrients showed a declining trend with increase in soil depth in all orders. Among different soil properties, the pH and EC showed significantly negative correlation, however, OC had non-significant correlation with DTPA-extractable micronutrients in soils. Therefore, it is concluded that parent material, land use systems and soil depth affected the distribution of DTPA extractable micronutrients in different soil orders.

“…Explicitly, the increased level of micronutrient deficiencies has executed constraint in productivity of crops and endangered the sustainability of crop land use system [ 12 ]. In Punjab, deficiency of micronutrients has emerged as outcome of intensive agriculture (rice-wheat cropping) system, excessive use of macronutrient fertilizers along-with low or no addition of organic manures and crop residues in soils [ 13 ]. The soil samples being taken from crop land systems of Punjab indicated the deficiency of 12.0(Zn and Fe), 15.0 (Mn) and 2.0 (Cu)%,respectively [ 14 ].…”

“…The concerns have been expressed on the sustainability of high yield of crops due to intensive rice cultivation system and multiple harvests of crops in a year (Livsey et al 2019). The sustainability of rice production under rice-wheat cropping system in Punjab has been reported at risk due to soil degradation and declining water table (Dhaliwal et al 2020) along with inadequate crop residue recycling and lack of organic fertilization. These changes in soil-water environment led to micro-nutrients deficiencies and yield stagnation (Dobermann and Fairhurst 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 2018 Year…”

Rice-wheat cropping system, intensively followed in Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP), played a prominent role in fulfilling the food grains demand of the increasing population of South Asia. In northern Indian plains, some practices such as intensive rice cultivation with traditional method for long-term have been associated with severe deterioration of natural resources, declining factor productivity, multiple nutrients deficiencies, depleting groundwater, labour scarcity and higher cost of cultivation, putting the agricultural sustainability in question. Varietal development, soil and water management, and adoption of resource conservation technologies in rice cultivation are the key interventions areas to address these challenges. The cultivation of lesser water requiring crops, replacing rice in light-textured soil and rainfed condition, should be encouraged through policy interventions. Direct seeding of short duration, high-yielding and stress tolerant rice varieties with water conservation technologies can be a successful approach to improve the input use efficiency in rice cultivation under medium-heavy-textured soils. Moreover, integrated approach of suitable cultivars for conservation agriculture, mechanized transplanting on zero-tilled/unpuddled field and need-based application of water, fertilizer and chemicals might be a successful approach for sustainable rice production system in the current scenario. In this review study, various challenges in productivity and sustainability of rice cultivation system and possible alternatives and solutions to overcome such challenges are discussed in details.
