Abstract: Rice-rice is a major cropping system in Tungabhadra command (TBP) area. In recent years tail end rice farmers from command area’s facing severe water shortage to rice crop and early withdrawal of monsoon rains or early closure of water channels leading to shortage of water to second season rice crop. A field experiment was conducted on medium black soil during kharif and rabi season of 2016-17 & 2017-18 at farmer field near Agricultural Research Station, Siruguppa. The results revealed that among rice varieties, kaverisona recorded higher grain yield during kharif season of 2016-17 & 2017-18 (5788 and 5773 kg ha-1, respectively) as compared to BPT-5204 (5320 and 5241 kg ha-1, respectively). Among pulses and oilseeds, significantly higher grain yield of fieldbean (1895 and 1912 kg ha-1, respectively) were recorded in rice-fieldbean cropping system and lower crop yield was noticed with sesame (500 and 523 kg ha-1, respectively) in rice-sesame cropping system during rabi season of 2016-17 and 2017-18. Higher net returns were noticed with rice-fieldbean system ( 163742 and 156153 ha-1, respectively) as compared to rice-fallow ( 68216 and 63809 ha-1, respectively).
