Abstract

. A field study was carried out for three years at the experimental f a n of the Directorate of Wheat Research, Karnal to compare the productivity and economics of six important wheat based cropping sequences. Among the crop sequences tried, the most remunerative crop sequence was the one where Pusa Basmati were grown during kharif and wheat during rabiseason with and without green manuring in one year crop rotation followed by the sequences where a crop of berseem was included during rabi or soybean and Pusa Basmati were grown during kharif in two-year rotation. Maize-wheat rotation gave the lowest average returns and the least profit. In basmati-rice-wheat sequence, on an average about 85% net return was contributed by basmati rice and only 15% by wheat. Among the crops, the most remunerative was basmati rice followed by berseem, soybean and last profitable was maize. J
