Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Rice sowing at 15-day intervals had no significant yield effect.
- Intervention effect Transplanted rice had significantly higher grain yield than direct-wet seeded rice in the first four years.
- Intervention effect Rice grain yield was similar for both establishment methods in the last year.
- Intervention effect Minimum-tilled rice–maize system productivity was inferior to conventional tillage in the first three years.
- Intervention effect Minimum-tilled rice–maize system productivity surpassed conventional tillage in the fourth and fifth years.
- Intervention effect Pooled system productivity was similar between conventional tillage and conservation agriculture.
- Intervention effect Transplanted rice produced higher net returns than direct-wet seeded rice, at INR 111,074.
- Intervention effect Conventionally tilled maize produced higher net returns than conservation agriculture, at INR 101,658/ha.
- Intervention effect Sowing rice on 15 July before maize increased maize irrigation water productivity by 15.7% versus 30 July sowing.
- Intervention effect Sowing rice on 15 July before maize increased maize total water productivity by 27.1% versus 30 July sowing.
- Intervention effect Conservation agriculture produced significantly higher very labile soil carbon at 0–5 cm than conventional management, at 0.194%.
- Intervention effect Conservation agriculture produced significantly higher labile soil carbon at 0–5 cm than conventional management, at 0.196%.
- Recommendation The authors recommend conservation agriculture for southern India and similar tropical and subtropical conditions with local modifications.
