Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted during the rabi seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 at Students Instructional Farm of the C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur to find out the effect of cropping systems and mulches on yield, LER, total water use, WUE and economics of crops under rainfed condition. Results obtained that the yield of individual crop depressed in additive intercropping where depression was more in lentil than chickpea. The yields of mustard, chickpea and lentil were highest in their sole stands. The yield of chickpea and lentil in terms of mustard equivalent seed yield showed highest significant production in row crop adjustment of mustard + chickpea (1+1) additive series. Moreover, the LER, WUE, net return and B:C ratio were also highest found to be the remunerative. Soil dust mulch created by weeding and hoeing at 25 DAS resulted higher mustard equivalent seed yield, LER, WUE and net return than without dust mulch plot.
