Abstract
The triple challenge of acute water crisis, stagnant crop yield and soil health deterioration in NW Indo Gangetic Plains (IGP) ramble a search for potential alternative crop establishment technique (CET). Hence, maize-based crop rotations under best-bet conservation agriculture (CA) practices can plays a critical role in sustainable crop production. The CA-based tillage and CET viz. zero tillage (ZT) and permanent raised beds (PB) hold potential to intensify crop yield per hectare, improving resource use efficiency besides bringing desirable changes in soil physico-chemical and biological properties. Therefore, it needs to be popularized in larger scale chiefly under maize-based rotation to makes farming more attractive, profitable and sustainable.
