Assessment of rice based multiple cropping system at Bansagar area of Kymore Satpura region

Abstract

Present field study was conducted under All India Coordinated Research Project on Farming System during 2022-2023 & 2023-2024.The study reveals that residual effect of rice-pea+mustard-green manure, rice-pea- green gram and rice-potato-green gram was found better as grain yield of rice was increased by 13-15% compared to existing rice-wheat system. Under different cropping system rice equivalent yield varied from 102.26 q/ha in rice-gram + mustard - green manure to 337.05 q/ha in rice - garlic. All the cropping system gave higher rice equivalent yield than existing rice - wheat except rice- barley and rice -gram + mustard- green manure. Sustainable yield index 0.91 was under rice-pea-green gram & rice berseem followed by rice-wheat & rice-toria-onion. Net profit was higher under all cropping system 4% to 292% but maximum net profit Rs. 521278 /ha and B:C ratio 3.17was noted under rice-garlic followed by Benefit ratio 2.83 in rice-barley-bajra fodder cropping system.
