Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Bed planting produced significantly more biomass than conventional and zero tillage.
- Intervention effect Bed planting increased grain yield by 16.9% over conventional tillage in 2016-17.
- Intervention effect Mulching significantly increased grain yield across irrigation levels.
- Intervention effect Bed planting had the least water use.
- Intervention effect Bed planting had higher water use efficiency and water productivity.
- Observation With straw mulch, the top 0-15 cm layer contributed most to crop moisture use under all establishment methods.
- Observation Without mulch, soil layers showed no definite moisture extraction pattern.
- Intervention effect More irrigations increased moisture availability in the top 0-15 cm layer.
- Intervention effect Bed planting with mulch and three irrigations gave the maximum benefit-cost ratio of 2.68.
- Recommendation The authors recommend bed planting with paddy straw mulch at 4 t/ha and three irrigations for wheat farmers.
