Abstract: The present investigation was carried out during 2016-17 at Hingnadih and Malpuri village, Dhamdha block, Durg district, Raipur. The soil of the experimental field was clay and clay loam in texture (Vertisol) localy knows as “kanharâ€. The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design with thirteen replications and three treatments. In this study, the effect of long term rice establishment methods on rice under rice based cropping system on soil moisture depletion pattern were evaluated in rice crop. In this study, three rice establishment methods (puddling, biasi and direct seeding rice) were laid in main treatment. The soil moisture was recorded at 7 days interval from flowering to harvesting of rice crop under various depths viz. 0-15, 15-30, 30-45 and 45-60 cm. As the day progressed, there was a decrease in the Moisture. Most moisture found in puddling condition. The soil moisture was increased with increase in soil depth. The most soil moisture were found in sub surface soil than surface soil. The Highest amount of soil moisture was found in puddling method of rice seeding than biasi and direct seeding method.
