- Intervention effect Minimum tillage with mulching gave 5.4% higher system productivity than conventional tillage in 2010-11.
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage with mulching raised system productivity to 7.4% above conventional tillage in 2011-12.
- Intervention effect Soybean-based cropping systems had higher system productivity than maize-based cropping systems.
- Intervention effect Vegetable pea and potato in winter and sunflower in spring raised system productivity up to 128% over the maize/soybean-wheat-green gram system.
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage with crop residue cover increased production efficiency by 12.7% over conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Production efficiency was highest with vegetable pea during winter and sunflower during spring, at 71.1 and 78.6 kg MGEY/ha/day in maize and soybean systems.
- Intervention effect Water productivity was highest with vegetable pea during winter and sunflower during spring, at 4.11 and 4.04 kg MGEY/m3.
- Intervention effect Employment generation was maximum with potato-sunflower, followed by vegetable pea-sunflower.
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage gave higher net profit than conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage gave higher economic efficiency than conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Among cropping systems, the soybean-vegetable pea-sunflower system had maximum net returns.
- Intervention effect Among cropping systems, the soybean-vegetable pea-sunflower system had maximum benefit:cost ratio of 3.93.
- Intervention effect Among cropping systems, the soybean-vegetable pea-sunflower system had maximum economic efficiency of 631 ha/day.
- Recommendation Minimum tillage with crop residue cover is recommended for irrigated north-west India as more productive, resource-use efficient and remunerative.
