Abstract: A field study was carried out during Kharif season of 2010-11 at the Research and Instructional Farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV), Raipur. Experiment was conducted to examine the Physico-chemical properties of vertisol at different stages of transplanted rice as influenced by long term application of fertilizers and manure under chhattisgarh condition. The experiment was carried out in randomized block design with 4 replications having treatments: T1  (Control  without  fertilizer),  T2  (100%  NPK),  T3  (100%  N alone),  T4  (100%NPK+FYM),  and T5  (50%NPK+Green manure). A medium duration high yielding paddy variety “Mahamaya” was taken as crop. The soil pH and EC decreased in T3   (100%  N  alone)  treatment.  However,  it  remained  constant  in T2   (100%NPK),  T4   (100%NPK+FYM),   and  T5 (50%NPK+GM). The organic carbon content under treatment T4 (100%NPK+FYM) was found to be significantly higher in all  the  growth  stages  when  compared  with  control.  The  soil  moisture  was  also found  higher  in  under  treatment  T5 (50%NPK+GM). The texture of the soil under study was estimated to be sand (20.40%), silt (35.30%) and clay (45.0%), respectively.
