Field experiment was conducted to work out the effect of different residual sodium carbonate (RSC) waters, FYM and zinc fertilization on soil nutrient availability, soil enzyme activity, nutrient content and yield of Barley on loamy sand soil during rabi seasons of 2013-14 and 2014-15. The treatments were: Three levels of RSC waters (control, 5 and 10 mmol L-1), two levels of FYM (control and 15 t ha-1) in main plot and four levels of zinc (control, 15, 30 and 45 kg ZnSO4 ha-1) in sub-plot. Result revealed that under irrigation with high RSC (10 mmol L-1) of irrigation water the soil available N, P2O5 and K2O content, soil enzyme activity, nutrient content viz., P, K, Ca, Mg and Zn and yield of grain and straw of barley was decreased significantly. Application of 15 t FYM ha-1 showed significant improvement in soil available N, P2O5, K2O, soil dehydrogenase enzyme activity at different months, nutrient content (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Zn) and grain and straw yield of barley. The increasing level of Zn significantly increased the N, K, Zn, Ca, Mg content as well as grain and straw yield of barley at harvest, while, while, P, Na concentration in grain and straw were decreased significantly.
