Effect of different soybean based cropping system on resource use efficiency and employment generation efficiency in Vertisol

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at Newari farm Krishi Vigyan Kendra Kawardha, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV), Raipur (C.G.) during the two consecutive years i.e. 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design comprised ten different soybean based cropping systems with replicated thrice. The result revealed that the employment generation efficiency and land use efficiency was highest under soybean-cabbage-green gram and soybean-wheat-black gram, respectively. The nutrient use productivity was maximum under soybean-fenugreek (leaf) - sweet corn followed by soybean-coriander (leaf)-sweet corn.
