A field experiment was carried out during 2018-19 at AICRP on safflower, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani. The sowing of Soybean-safflower was carried out on broad bed furrow (BBF) to find out overall benefit over traditional method of sowing in Rabi season (winter) of 2018-19. In Kharif soybean crop sown on BBF fallowed by safflower in rabi on same bed with the help of BBF seed cum ferti seed drill. The average soil moisture in BBF method and traditional method was observed 30 % and 26%, respectively The sowing of safflower on BBF resulted in conservation of moisture in soil which was observed to be 11.95 % more as compared to traditional method of sowing. The conserved soil moisture has shown higher yield in BBF method. The observed higher yield of crop in BBF method 3 rows/BBF x 100% RDF + Azotobacter + PSB (1712 kg/ha) which was on par with 4 rows/BBF x100% RDF + Azotobacter + PSB (1569 kg/ha). Biological yield, safflower equivalent yield, gross returns, net returns and B:C ratio followed similar trend than traditional method of sowing.
