Abstract

The experiment was conducted in the Central Plain Zone Region of Punjab state during 2010–12 under All India Coordinated Research Project on Cropping Systems (cultivators’ fields). The productivity in terms of REY (167.3 q/ha) and system productivity (45.8 kg grain/ha/day) was highest for rice-green pea-summer moongbean as compared to rice-wheat and all other crop sequences. The rice-green pea-summer moongbean, rice-green pea and rice-green pea-summer mash sequences were found to be maximum stable having stability index of 0.99. On the other hand, the maximum net returns of Rs. 105426/ha, maximum profitability of Rs. 289/ha/day and maximum B: C ratio of 2.6 were obtained from rice-gobhi sarson-summer moongbean.
