Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 6
Abstract
Field experiment was conducted in the year 2011-12 and 2013-14 at farmers fields of Ashoknagar district of Madhya Pradesh to study the performance of Chickpea grown under three tillage practices, viz. Tl: 1x Cultivator + 1x (Dutch Foot Cultivator + Clod Crusher), T2: 1 x Cultivator + 2x (Dutch Foot Cultivator + Clod Crusher) and T3: 1x Rotavator. The time savings in tillage operations were recorded in treatment T3 over T2 and T1 were 46.97 and 25.9 percent, respectively. It is evident from data that the fuel consumption in operation of treatment T3 is 14.19 l/ha. However it was 19.16 and 26.73 l/ha in treatment T1 and treatment T2 respectively. It was also recorded highest yield (15.19 qt/ha) was found in treatment T3 and lowest yield in treatment T1 (11.83 qt/ha) which is 28.4% lower. In case of benefit cost ratio, treatment T3 gave 0.49 and 0.32 more B:C Ratio than treatment T1 and T2.
