Productivity and economic efficiency of different cropping systems under various levels of irrigation
Author(s): RH Shinde, VB Gedam and RD Nimbalkar
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, to study the effect of irrigation levels on grain equivalent yield, economic efficiency and sustainability value index of different cropping systems. Irrigation given at all critical growth stages recorded significantly higher grain equivalent yield of Kharif (2002-03) crops, rabi crops and cropping system, economic efficiency which was followed by irrigation skipped at one critical growth stage and the lowest values were registered when irrigations were skipped at two critical growth stages. The pearl millet equivalent yield for kharif crops was found significantly highest in soybean, for rabi crops chickpea grain equivalent yield was recorded the highest value. Soybean-chickpea recorded highest grain equivalent yield and economic efficiency rest of the cropping systems remained at par. The lowest pearl millet equivalent yield was recorded in pearl millet-Rabi sorghum. Groundnut + Pigeonpea intercropping recorded the lowest economic efficiency during both the years.
