Assessment of rice based multiple cropping system at Bansagar area of Kymore Satpura region

Present field study was conducted under All India Coordinated Research Project on Farming System during 2022-2023 & 2023-2024.The study reveals that residual effect of rice-pea+mustard-green manure, rice-pea- green gram and rice-potato-green gram was found better as grain yield of rice was increased by 13-15% compared to existing rice-wheat system. Under different cropping system rice equivalent yield varied from 102.26 q/ha in rice-gram + mustard - green manure to 337.05 q/ha in rice - garlic. All the cropping system gave higher rice equivalent yield than existing rice - wheat except rice- barley and rice -gram + mustard- green manure. Sustainable yield index 0.91 was under rice-pea-green gram & rice berseem followed by rice-wheat & rice-toria-onion. Net profit was higher under all cropping system 4% to 292% but maximum net profit Rs. 521278 /ha and B:C ratio 3.17was noted under rice-garlic followed by Benefit ratio 2.83 in rice-barley-bajra fodder cropping system.
