Abstract

The conventional paddy-wheat-green gram cropping system in the North-Bihar, area experienced issues such as diminishing yield, water constraint, and uneven fertilizer usage. Researchers wanted to boost sustainability and productivity by testing alternative tillage and crop establishment (TCE) practices within this cropping pattern. The research was conducted out at the Climate Resilient Agriculture (CRA) the village in the Muzaffarpur region of Bihar. The purpose was to compare five distinct (TCE) utilization in the present rice–wheat-green gram cropping system. The study indicated that the TCE technique designated SN 5 (ZTDSR-HSZTW-HSG) resulted in the greatest yields across all crops, with 15–18% greater rice yield, 20–25% higher wheat yield, and 20–22% higher green gram yield compared to other TCE methods. Additionally, SN 5 produced 20.2% larger net returns employing a conservation agriculture (CA)-based system compared to the conventional technique. These results suggest that CA-based TCE outperformed conventional approaches in terms of net returns and overall efficiency.

在北比哈尔邦通过替代性耕作和作物种植方法提高水稻-小麦-青稞种植系统的可持续性和生产力

北比哈尔邦地区传统的水稻-小麦-青禾苗种植系统面临着产量下降、水资源短缺和肥料使用不均等问题。研究人员希望通过测试这种种植模式下的替代性耕作和作物栽培（TCE）方法，提高可持续性和生产率。研究在比哈尔邦穆扎法尔布尔地区的气候适应性农业（CRA）村进行。目的是比较目前水稻-小麦-青禾苗种植系统中五种不同的（TCE）利用方法。研究表明，SN 5（ZTDSR-HSZTW-HSG）技术是所有作物中产量最高的，与其他 TCE 方法相比，水稻产量提高了 15-18%，小麦产量提高了 20-25%，青稞产量提高了 20-22%。此外，与传统技术相比，采用基于保护性农业（CA）系统的 SN 5 产生的净收益高出 20.2%。这些结果表明，基于 CA 的 TCE 在净收益和总体效率方面优于传统方法。

期刊介绍： IJPP publishes original research papers and review papers related to physiology, ecology and production of field crops and forages at field, farm and landscape level. Preferred topics are: (1) yield gap in cropping systems: estimation, causes and closing measures, (2) ecological intensification of plant production, (3) improvement of water and nutrients management in plant production systems, (4) environmental impact of plant production, (5) climate change and plant production, and (6) responses of plant communities to extreme weather conditions. Please note that IJPP does not publish papers with a background in genetics and plant breeding, plant molecular biology, plant biotechnology, as well as soil science, meteorology, product process and post-harvest management unless they are strongly related to plant production under field conditions. Papers based on limited data or of local importance, and results from routine experiments will not normally be considered for publication. Field experiments should include at least two years and/or two environments. Papers on plants other than field crops and forages, and papers based on controlled-environment experiments will not be considered.
