Abstract

An experiment was conducted during 1994-95 and 1995-96 in sandy-loam soil to study economic profitability of different cropping systems under rainfed conditions. Green fodder in rainy season (kharit), followed by toria [Brassica campestris L. ssp. oleifera (Metzger) sinsk. var. to*dJ + gcbhi sarson (B. napus L. ssp. oleifera DC. var. annua L.) in winter (rab~) proved to be most profitable cropping system, recording a net return of Rs 16,900lha and next in order was maize (Zea mays L.) in kharif followed by wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) in rabi giving a net return of Rs 11,750lha.
