Abstract
The study shows “Effect of tillage, mulch and fertility levels on productivity and economics of the different cropping systems over existing rice – wheat†was conducted during kharif and Rabi season in clay loam soils of Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh). The productivity of different systems significantly varied due to different tillage, cropping systems, mulch and fertility levels. Conventional tillage produced significantly maximum (98.36 q/ha/year) REYs as compared to minimum tillage. Rice-berseem cropping system produced higher productivity (123.74q/ha/year) than the rice-wheat, maize-wheat, sorghum-wheat (114.79, 72.82 and 73.52 q/ha/year) respectively. As regards the mulch and fertility levels, mulching application produced significantly maximum (97.44 q/ha/year) productivity and 25% higher of RDF produce highest REYs (99.32 q/ha/year). Based on data conventional tillage had the highest production efficiency (35.863 q/ha/day) followed by minimum tillage (34.371 q/ha/day). Difference in production efficiency amongst different cropping system was significant. The highest production efficiency was under rice-wheat cropping system (45.196 q/ha/day) followed by rice-berseem (41.250 q/ha/day), maize-wheat (28.670 q/ha/day). There is significant difference between no mulch and with mulch crop, mulch gave significantly higher production efficiency 34.676 and 35.558 q/ha/day respectively. The production efficiency (36.262 q/ha/yr) was significantly greater as crop fertilizer with 25% higher of RDF as compare to 100% RD.
