Abstract Presently, rice-fallows are targeted for cropping intensification in South Asia. Rice - fallows a rainfed mono-cropping system remain fallow after rice due to lack of irrigation facilities and poor socio-economic condition the farmers. Nevertheless, there is scope including ecologically adaptable winter crops water-limited rice-fallow conditions with effective moisture conservation practices. The study aimed identify winter-crops that productive evaluate different tillage-based crop...

In the context of deteriorating soil health, stagnation yield in rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) across Indo- Gangetic plains (IGP) and environmental pollution, a long term field experiment was conducted during 2009-2016 taking four crop scenarios with conservation agriculture (CA), intensification diversified as intervening technology aiming to evaluate sustainability systems. Scenario 1 (S1) represented conventional farmers' practice growing rice wheat summer fallow. scenario 2 (S2) 3...

Rice-wheat cropping system (RWCS) is the most important occupying around 26 M ha spread over Indo Gangetic Plains in South Asia and China. Many long-term trials were led to assess agronomic productivity economic profitability of various combinations conservation agricultural (CA) practices (zero tillage, residue management crop establishment) RWCS Eastern Indo-Gangetic (EIGP) India. The purpose this study was investigate best involving different tillage-based establishment retention...

In the eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains (EIGP), conventional rice-wheat system has led to a decline in productivity, input-use efficiency, and profitability. To address these, four-year field study was conducted evaluate performance of tillage crop establishment (TCE) methods rice-wheat-greengram rotation. The treatments included: 1) random puddled transplanted rice (RPTR) - conventional-till broadcast wheat (BCW) zero-till greengram (ZTG); 2) line PTR (LPTR) drill sown (CTW) ZTG; 3) machine...

The quantity and quality of residues determine the formation stabilization aggregate structure for soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. Plant roots are primary skeleton to enmesh inorganic particles together build macro- microaggregates while sequestering SOC. There three major binding agents aggregation: temporary (plant roots, fungal hyphae, bacterial cells), transient (polysaccharides), persistent (humic compounds polymers). Conversion natural ecosystems into agricultural lands...

Abstract Short‐term (5 years) impact of tillage and residue management practices on physical properties organic carbon (OC) a silty clay soil was evaluated in rice–wheat rotation the Indo‐Gangetic Plains Bihar. The experiment had three conservation agriculture (CA) practices: one full (direct‐seeded rice (DSR)–no‐tilled wheat (NTW)–no‐tilled mung bean (NTMB); fCA) two partial (puddled transplanted (PTR)–NTW–conventionally tilled (CTMB); pCA1 unpuddled (UPTPR)–conventionally potato+maize (CTP...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important crop during kharif in Eastern India, covering an area of ~26.8 million ha and accounts for ~63.3% total rice acreage. Out which, ~11.7 production system remains fallow succeeding winter season due to several limitations. Efficient utilization these lands may improve productivity sustainability regions. Soil properties region suggests that short duration pulses, i.e. chickpea (Cicer aerietinum), lentil (Lens culinaris), lathyrus (Lathyrus sativa)...

Abstract Deteriorating soil health, diminishing organic carbon (SOC), development of subsurface hard compact layer and declining system productivity are barriers to achieving sustainable production in the traditional rice–wheat cropping (TA) eastern Indo‐Gangetic Plain India. Conservation agriculture (CA), which favours minimum disturbance, crop residue retention diversification could be a viable alternative TA address most those major problems. With that mind, long‐term experiment is being...

Weeds are one of the key threats in sustaining productivity rice-wheat cropping system Indo-Gangetic Plains. The development sound integrated weed management technologies requires knowledge mechanisms that influence flora composition and seedbank dynamics. A long-term study was initiated 2015 at Patna, Bihar, India to evaluate effect seven tillage crop establishment methods on density, composition, rice-wheat-mungbean rotation. All treatments included zero-till mungbean after wheat. Tillage...

The rice-maize system is a dominant cropping of south Asia and consumes considerable amount fertilizer. indiscriminate use fertilizer particularly nitrogen (N) degrading the soil health polluting environment. Lower N-use efficiency major problem needs to be improved for higher yield, lower cost cultivation better grain quality also altered by N-application as N constituent protein. Studies on effect N-content still lacking. We hypothesised that optimization application would result in...
