Hasegaonwadi is twenty five km away from Latur city on the way of Budhode-Lodga road. Total geographical area of Hasegaonwadi village is 1016 ha. The study area were surveyed and four soil profiles were discussed and forty surface soil samples (0-30cm) were collected for laboratory analysis. The DTPA extractable micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) status were high in soils of Hasegaonwadi of Latur district. The results showed that average DTPA extractable Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu content in soil ranged from 9.32 to 12.58, 9.36 to 17.23, 2.01 to 3.86 and 0.63 to 0.95 mg kg-1 respectively, with a mean value of 10.85, 13.91, 3.03 and 0.77 mg kg-1 respectively.

The study area is located in Hasegaonwadi village in Ausa tahsil of Latur district situated at 18 0 16' 51" N latitude and 76 0 37' 31" E longitudes. The study area was surveyed and four soil profiles and forty surface soil samples (0-30cm) were collected for laboratory analysis. The soils of Hasegaonwadi were shallow to moderately deep (53 to 85 cm), dark reddish brown (5 YR 3/4) to reddish brown (5YR 4/4) in colour, granular to sub-angular blocky in structure, sandy clay in texture. The saturated hydraulic conductivity of these soils varied from 17.23 to 49.16 cm hr-1. These soils were neutral to moderately alkaline in reaction (6.76 to 8.17). The electrical conductivity of these soils was < 1.0 dSm-1. The organic carbon content was low to moderate and varied from 0.22 to 0.94 per cent. The calcium carbonate content varied from 6.8 to 13.8 per cent indicated that these soils were calcareous in nature. The CEC varied from 13.10 to 40.36 cmol(p +)kg-1. Calcium was the dominated cation followed by magnesium, sodium and potassium in all profiles. The base saturation per cent varied from 81.68 to 96.42 per cent. These soils belongs to two soil orders viz. Entisols and Inceptisols and at subgroup level classified as Typic Ustorthents and Typic Haplustepts, respectively.

The study area is located in Hasegaonwadi village in Ausa tahsil, Latur district situated at 18 0 16' 51" N latitude and 76 0 37' 31" E longitudes. It is twenty five km away from Latur city on the way of Budhode-Lodga road. Total geographical area of Hasegaonwadi village is 1016 ha. The study area were surveyed and finalized the site of four soil profiles and forty surface soil samples (0-30cm). Horizon wise profile and surface soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis. Soil fertility status of soils of Hasegaonwadi were found to be low to high. The available nitrogen and sulphur in these soils were low, while available phosphorus was medium to high and potassium was low to medium.

The experiment consist of eight treatments in wheat crop viz., T1: RDN (50% N) + 50% N through FYM, T2: RDN (50% N) + 50% N through vermicompost, T3: RDN (50% N) + 50% N through poultry manure, T4: (50% N) + 50% N through press mud compost, T5: (50% N) + 50% N through goat manure, T6: (50% N) + 50% N through urban compost T7: GRDF (120:60:40 N:P2O5:K2O kg ha-1) + 10 t FYM ha-1 and T8: absolute control. Whereas, in maize crop treatment from T1 to T6 RDN (50% N) is applied with residual N applied to wheat through FYM, vermicompost, poultry manure, goat manure and urban compost, respectively and T7: GRDF (120:60:40 N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1) + 5 t FYM ha-1 and T8: Absolute control. These treatments replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. In wheat crop, the grain yield, straw yield, test weight, plant height and spike length recorded higher in treatment T7 (GRDF 120:60:40 N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1 + 10 t FYM ha-1) under both normal and saline-sodic Inceptisol (27.87 q ha-1, 41.00 q ha-1, 43.72 g, 92 cm and 9.92 cm) and (34.43 q ha-1, 44.02 q ha-1, 42.40 g, 91 cm and 9.82 cm), respectively. Whereas, in succeeding maize crop, the treatment T7 (GRDF 120:60:40 N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1 + 5 t FYM ha-1) recorded highest grain yield, stover yield, test weight, plant height, length of cob and no. of grains per cob in both normal and saline-sodic Inceptisol (64.11 q ha-1, 74.23 q ha-1, 40.34 g, 237.82 cm, 19.99 cm and 633.02 g) and (52.52 q ha-1, 61.82 q ha-1, 38.63 g, 226.24 cm, 18.74 cm and 579.48 g), respectively. In wheat crop application of treatment T7 (GRDF 120:60:40 N: P2O5: K2O kg ha-1 + 10 t ha-1 FYM) recorded highest total uptake of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in both normal and saline-sodic Inceptisol (88.00, 16.00 and 100 N, P and K kg ha-1) and (99.36, 17.20 and 103 N, P and K kg ha-1), respectively. Whereas in succeeding maize crop, total uptake of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium recorded highest in treatment T7 (GRDF (120:60:40 N: P2O5: K2O kg ha-1 + 5 t ha-1 FYM) in both normal and saline-sodic Inceptisol (107.69, 10.77 and 94.67 N, P and K kg ha-1) and (85.85, 8.58 and 75.47 N, P and K kg ha-1), respectively.
