“…However, greater benefits may be realized in the longer-term. In a related study at the same experimental site in the U.K., Smith et al (2014) found that soil physical properties were significantly improved by the traffic system, thus yields have increased in all tillage systems under CTF. Compaction increases bulk density and soil strength (Ayers and Perumpral, 1982).…”

Controlled traffic farming (CTF) is a system in which all machinery has the same or modular working and track widths so that field traffic can be confined to the least possible area of compacted permanent traffic lanes. In well-designed CTF systems permanent traffic lanes usually occupy less than 15% of cropped area, and this has been widely adopted in Australia. CTF is a practical and cost-effective facilitator of no-tillage farming, and the basis for more precise cropping systems. Controlled traffic systems are often claimed to reduce power and fuel requirements of cropping operations, because motion resistance to traffic should be less on permanent lanes, and draft requirement of tilling or seeding should be less in non-compacted soil. Experimental work was conducted to assess the effects of tractor wheel compaction on the energy requirements of soil-engaging operations, particularly, during tillage and planting. Preliminary results from this investigation indicate that on average the draft of tillage sweeps, planter openers, and chisel tines increased by approximately 35%, 37%, and 54%, respectively, when positioned behind a tractor wheel.

Rice is grown by different techniques for higher productivity with judicious use of inputs and natural resources. Transplanting of paddy seedlings is common method of crop establishment in the irrigated rice systems of Asia but transplanting is labour intensive (30 persons/ha/day). The preparation of land for transplanting paddy (puddling) consumes about 20-40 % of the total water required for growing of crop and subsequently poses difficulties in seed bed preparation for succeeding wheat crop in rotation. It also promotes the formation of hard pan which effects rooting depth of next crop. So, in this paper discussed the different methods of establishment of rice, sowing of rice in the crop residue of wheat with different tillage systems and use of nitrogen for higher productivity of rice.

Use of Conservation Technology for the Improvement in Production of Chickpea in Comparison to Wheat

In the last four decades, the area, production and productivity of chickpea fluctuated widely. There is a general perception that chickpea is a rabi crop and requires low temperature and prolonged winter season thus more fit for cultivation in northern India. Chickpea area was earlier confined to northern and central India. However, the scenario of chickpea cultivation has drastically changed in India during the past few decades. Pulses have very low productivity due to several reasons. However, the obvious reasons are cultivation under energy starved conditions on marginal and sub-marginal lands with no or low input management, late sowing, higher degree of susceptibility to both abiotic and biotic stresses, unavailability of quality seeds of high yielding varieties, poor or no use of plant protection measures, improper management practices, lack of winter precipitation and inadequacy of stored soil moisture, etc. Wheat is the world’s number one cereal crop in all the six continents of the world. It is the staple food of billions of people and is widely treated as cash crop because it produce good yield per unit area in short growing season. Similarly, chickpea is an important pulse crop of the semi-arid tropics, particularly in the rainfed area of the Indian sub-continent. Conservation technology plays important role to increase the productivity of wheat. Keeping the above in considerations try to know the role of conservation technology for the increase in the production of chickpea in comparison to wheat in this paper.
