Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] based cropping systems on soil fertility balance in Vertisols of western Madhya Pradesh. The present investigation was carried out during kharif, rabi and zaid seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17 at the research farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Dhar, M. P. The initial status of soil of the experimental field was clay loam in texture, neutral in reaction (pH 7.60) with normal EC (0.58 dS/m) and medium organic carbon contents (0.59 %) and low in available N (218 kg/ha), medium in available P (11.60 kg/ha) and high in available K (350 kg/ha) contents. In this study, 16 cropping sequences tested in randomized block design with four replications. Soybean Yield Equivalent (SEY) of cropping-system as a whole, T15-Soybean (JS 93-05) - Potato (Kufri jyoti) - Onion (AFLR) cropping sequence recorded the highest productivity (177.31 q/ha) in terms of soybean-equivalent yield as compared to existing cropping sequences (Soybean-wheat and soybean-chick pea). The minimum productivity of the cropping sequence based on SEYs was registered in Soybean (JS 95-60) - Chickpea (JG-130) desi i.e. 42.79 q/ha. The availability of nutrients were numerically higher N in T16- Soybean (JS 93-05) - Garden pea (Arkel) - Garlic (G-282) 226.20 kg/ha, P in T15- Soybean (JS 93-05) - Potato (Kufri jyoti) - Onion (AFLR) (15.20 kg/ha), K in T15- Soybean (JS 93-05) - Potato (Kufri jyoti) - Onion (AFLR) 370.20 kg/ha and minimum N was recorded in T1- Soybean (JS 95-60) - Wheat (HI-1544) aestivum 192.20 kg/ha, P in T3 - Soybean (JS 95-60) - Chickpea (JG-130) desi (9.50 kg/ha), K in T3 - Soybean (JS 95-60) - Chickpea (JG-130) desi (320.0 kg/ha) at end of experimentation.
