The objective of this study was to determine the comparative effects of two cropping system (crop rotation and monoculture) and tillage system (conventional and direct drilling) on physical properties of the soil, plant pathogens and yield of continuous spring barley. A field study was carried out on loamy sands overlying loamy material, classified as Albic Luvisols (FAO) in 2004-06. Spring barley yield in crop rotation were greater for ploughing system, as compared to direct drillings, the yield difference resulted from higher number of plants in ploughing system. Grain yield of continuous spring barley was not different among tillage system. It was found that direct drilling lowered capillary porosity and increased bulk density
