Studies on Bio-intensive Multiple Cropping System Module in Kymore Satpura Plateau under Irrigated Condition

Abstract

The field experiment entitled "Studies on bio-intensive multiple cropping system module in Kymore Satpura Plateau under irrigated condition" was taken under All India Coordinated Research Project on Farming System, Kuthulia farm of JNKVV, College of Agriculture, Rewa (M.P.) during 2017-18 to 2019-20. The study reveals that rice crop performed better under the residual effect of different cropping system module significantly and grain yield of rice was increased by 2% to 14.83% as compared to existing rice-wheat system. Maximum grain yield of rice 52.79 q/ha was obtained in ricebarley-bajra cropping system followed by 50.68 q/ha in rice-gram+mustard-green manure cropping system. Rice equivalent yield (275.29 q/ha) and gross return (Rs.495520/ha) were obtained in rice-garlic cropping system followed by 149.42 q/ha REY and gross return Rs.268969/ha under rice-potato-green gram cropping system. The net profit Rs.321880/ha was maximum in rice-garlic followed by Rs.192342/ha in rice-potato-green gram cropping system. Benefit cost ratio 3.28 was maximum in rice-berseem followed by 3.19 under rice-gram+mustard-green manure cropping system while rice-pea-green gram and rice-toria-onion gave lower B:C ratio than existing rice-wheat system.
