A long-term field experiment was started in 2001 on newly constructed bench terraces at the Department of Soil and Water Conservation in the experimental farm of School of Agricultural Science and Rural Development (SASRD), Nagaland University (NU), Medziphema, Nagaland to study the long term effects of various nutrients management practices on performance of upland rice and fertility of terraced land under rainfed condition. Twelve treatments involving N, P and K (NPK) fertilizers, farmyard manure (FYM), poultry litter, forest litter, Azospirillum and Zn either alone or in combinations were applied continuously for twelve years to evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management practices on available N, P and K content and performance of upland rice in a terraced land. The available N and K content increased significantly in all the treatments whereas, available P content increased significantly in all the treatments except Forest litter burned+ ½ FYM over control. The highest accumulation of available N, P and K was found in NPK+ Poultry litter, NPK+ FYM and ½N+ PK+ ½N Forest litter treatments, respectively. The rate of build up of available N, P and K in different nutrient management practices varied from 3.57 to 22.5, 0.19 to 1.09 and 3.35 to 13.3 kg ha-1 yr-1, respectively. Maximum plant height was recorded in NPK+ FYM+ Zn treatment. The number of productive tillers per plant was also highest in NPK+ FYM+ Zn treatment. The highest straw yield was recorded in NPK+ FYM followed by NPK+ Poultry litter treatment. The highest grain yield was recorded in NPK+ FYM+ Zn followed by NPK+ Poultry litter treatment. Compared with NPK, grain yield in NPK+ FYM+ Zn, NPK+ Poultry litter and NPK+ FYM treatments increased significantly and were 38.1, 34.43 and 32.6 per cent higher, respectively. Among different nutrient management practices, NPK+ FYM+ Zn proved to be the best practices followed by NPK+ Poultry litter and can suitably be recommended for use not only to build up available N, P and K levels but also to produce higher grain yield in terraced land under upland rice cultivation.Keywords

Land use effect on soil erodibility parameters were studied in four villages, viz., Tsiesema, Riisoma, Chiephobozou and Botsa in Kohima district, Nagaland, under four land uses, viz., orchard, shifting cultivation, lowland and forest in each village. The mean textural classes of the soils were clay, clay loam and sandy clay loam. Dispersion ratio and erosion index were recorded to be usually higher than the threshold limits. Dispersion ratio of the soils ranged from 8.16 to 30.53 whereas, erosion index varied between 5.28 and 23.91. A significant negative correlation of clay with dispersion ratio and erosion index was observed. The highly significant and positive correlation between erosion index and dispersion ratio indicated the susceptibility of these soils to water erosion. Proper agronomic and mechanical soil and water conservation measures need to be adopted to protect the soils from further degradation.Keywords
