Abstract: A field experiment were conducted for two consecutive rabi seasons during 2017-18 and 2018-19 at soil conservation and water management farm, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology Kanpur on gangatic alluvial soil having 7.6 pH, light textured soil with medium soil fertility. Treatments comprises of viz., three preparatory tillage T₁ - one cross ploughing with cultivator, T₂ - one ploughing with disc harrow + one cross ploughing with cultivator and T₃- one ploughing with disc harrow + one pass with rotavator, three nutrient management practices i.e. N₁-100% RDF (60 Kg N ha^-1 + 30 Kg P₂O₅ ha^-1+ 30 Kg K₂O ha^-1 ) through chemical fertilizer, N₂-75% RDF( through chemical fertilizer) + 25% FYM (Farm yard manure) and N₃-50% RDF (through chemical fertilizer) +50% FYM (Farm yard manure) and three moisture conservation practices viz., 1) M₁- Control, 2) M₂ - Dust mulch and 3) M₃-_-Pinoxaden 5.1 EC @ 50 g a.i ha^-1 + VAM @ 15 Kg ha^-1) was researches. It is clear from the results of two year experimentation that sowing of barley crop in plots where preparatory tillage, T₃- one ploughing with disc harrow + one pass with rotavator, nutrient applied as N₃-50% RDF through chemical fertilizer + 50% FYM and moisture conservation practices of M₃-pinoxaden 5EC @ 50 g/ha. + VAM @ 15 Kg/ha brought out the maximum values of growth parameters, yield attributes and day of flowering and day of maturity of barley observed during both the years of study respectively followed by T₁ - one cross ploughing with cultivator, N₁-100% RDF (60 Kg N ha^-1 + 30 Kg P₂O₅ ha^-1+ 30 Kg K₂O ha^-1) through chemical fertilizer and moisture conservation practices of M₂-dust mulch.
