The experiment was conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station (MARS), University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during the rainy season of 2015 under rainfed condition to validate the integrated crop management practices with farmers’ practice. DGGV-2 variety was used for the experiment. Treatments consisted of two dates of sowing [Normal sowing date of the location (June 16th) and 15 days after normal sowing date] and two types of practices i.e. ICM v/s farmers’ practice [Improved nutrient, weed and pest and disease management practices v/s farmers’ practice] and they were sown in four blocks of 100 m2. There was 30.6 per cent decrease in yield in ICM practice is due to delay of wowing by 15 days, where in farmer’s practice it was 41.3 per cent under normal sowing due to farmer’s practice yield was reduced by 24.7 per cent (855kg/ha) compared to ICM practice (1066 kg/ha). The yield reduction in farmers practice under delayed sowing was 76.8 per cent compared to ICM under normal sowing. Maximum net returns were obtained in normal sown ICM (50120 Rs/ha) when compared to normal sown farmer’s practice (36350 RS/ha), 15 days late sown ICM (32620 Rs/ha) and 15 days late sown crop with farmers practice (18710 Rs/ha) The overall analysis of the study revealed that adoption of ICM technologies in greengram cultivation results in high profits.
