The field results of a 3-year field experiment conducted at Kaushambi indicated that inclusion of pulses and oilseeds crop in rice (Oryza sativa L.) based crop sequences gave higher production and monetary gain over rice-wheat conventional system. The intercropping of pulses and oilseeds in recommended planting patterns after rice further enhanced the net return and sustained soil health. Highest net return of Rs 26,1981ha. was obtained with rice-chickpea+ linseed, closely followed by rice-linseed + Indian mustard (Rs 24,681lha) and rice-Indian mustard- mungbean (Rs 24,681lha). Highest net profit on per rupee investment was recorded with rice-chickpea + linseed crop sequence (Rs 1.36).References
