e1“to study the response of rice (Oryza sativa L.)–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) system to balanced nutrient application”
e2“A study was conducted by involving 24 farmers in their fields during 2011–13 in lower Kumaon hills”
e3“The highest mean grain yields of rice (7.21 t/ha) and of wheat (5.14 t/ha) were recorded with the recommended doses of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (120, 60 and 40 kg/ha respectively, to both the crops) applied along with the sulphur @ 20 kg/ha followed by recommended NPK alone without micronutrients (7.01 and 5.01 t/ha, respec tively, for rice and wheat)”

- Intervention effect Rice grain yield was highest (7.21 t/ha) with recommended NPK plus sulphur 20 kg/ha.
- Intervention effect Rice grain yield under the farmers’ practice was significantly lower than under the other treatments except control and N alone.
- Intervention effect Wheat grain yield under the farmers’ practice was significantly lower than under the other treatments except control and N alone.
- Intervention effect Recommended NPK provided an additional mean rice grain yield of 1.50 t/ha over the farmers’ practice.
- Intervention effect Recommended NPK gave a mean wheat grain yield increase of 1.04 t/ha over the farmers’ practice.
- Intervention effect Sulphur 20 kg/ha over recommended NPK added 200 kg/ha of rice grain yield.
- Intervention effect Sulphur 20 kg/ha over recommended NPK added 130 kg/ha of wheat grain yield.
- Intervention effect Sulphur 20 kg/ha over recommended NPK gave the highest production efficiency, 45.4 kg/ha/day, in the rice-wheat system.
- Intervention effect Net returns were highest (150.15 × 10^3/ha) under recommended NPK plus sulphur 20 kg/ha.
