The impact of conventional, organic and integrated mode of cultivation on yield sustainability, soil fertility and quality of Pusa basmati-1 rice was studied. Among the different modes of cultivation studied, organic mode of cultivation sustained the productivity of basmati rice after five year of conversion period which was increased by 52.96 % over first year rice grain yield (2.26 t ha^-1). However, inorganic and integrated mode of cultivation maintained more or less same yields. Bulk density of soil improved to a great extent after five years under organic mode (1.26 g cc^-1) over initial (1.37 g cc^-1) followed by inorganic (1.28 g cc^-1) and integrated mode (1.30 g cc^-1). In organic mode it decreased by 8.03 per cent over initial value. Organic mode of cultivation was found superior in improving the organic carbon (0.79 %) status of soil followed by integrated mode (0.71 %). The per cent increases in organic carbon were 21.54 and 9.23 under organic and integrated modes.
