In an experiment conducted during 1995-96 to 1996-97 to determine ideal agronomic conditions for late-sown crops. Argentine rape Sheetal showed the highest total productivity in terms of wheat-equivalent yield during both the sea- sons. Wheat [Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.] HPW 42 and argentine rape Sheetal were more remunerative than other crops or varieties. Based on pooled analysis, wheat HPW 42 gave 18.03 and 185.64% higher net return , over wheat HS 295 and lentil HPLC 8431 respectively. The increased due to argentine rape was 16.17 and 181.15 per cent respectively. The effect of seed rate was not significant. The increase in nitrogen level by 25% over recom- mended dose increased the productivity as well as monetary returns over the recommended nitrogen. Based on pooled analysis, increased nitrogen level (25% over recommended) gave 7.52 and 20.22% higher net return than recom- mended and 25% lower than recommended N levels respectively.References
