- Observation Sesbania brown manuring plots had the lowest bulk density.
- Observation Sesbania brown manuring plots had the highest soil porosity.
- Observation Sesbania brown manuring followed by wheat had greater total nitrogen, available phosphorus and exchangeable potassium.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage wheat after sesbania raised grain yield by 41% against flooded rice with conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Zero tillage chickpea after sesbania raised grain yield by 43% against flooded rice with conventional tillage.
- Observation Zero tillage plots after sesbania had the highest profitability.
- Observation Rice–chickpea systems had better soil health and profitability than rice–wheat systems.
- Intervention effect The direct-seeded rice and sesbania system followed by zero tillage suppressed weed flora.
