On other hand, application of nutrients in kharif as 50% RDF (inorganic) + 50% through FYM +
Sulphur @ 10 kg ha -1 gave maximum soybean equivalent yield of Rabi crops (1969 kg ha -1 ),
system productivity (3285 kg ha -1 ) (Chaturvedi and Chandel, 2005), Maximum System net return
(Rs. 72881/- ha -1 ) & highest B:C ratio (1.94) which were found at par with the application of
50% RDF (inorganic) + 50% through FYM as (1926 kg ha -1 ), (3208 kg ha -1 ), (Rs. 70467/- ha -1 )
& (1.91), respectively.
Conclusion
The results concluded that Soybean –chickpea cropping system with application of nutrients in
kharif as 50% RDF (inorganic) + 50% through FYM + Sulphur @ 10 kg ha -1 was found
productivity operative and economically worthwhile under dryland farming condition.

Finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] is a stable food crop for millions of people in the
semi-arid region of the world, particularly in Africa and India. The crop is adapted to a wide
range of climate and can be grown in variety of soils with medium or low water holding
capacity, but requires minimum rainfall of 800 mm per annum. Tillage is done to control weeds
which can ultimately lead to soil compaction, loss of organic matter, and death of soil microbes.
So, all these after effects can be avoided by zero tillage. The major constraints for rainfed rabi
cropping are faster receding residual moisture in fields after rice harvest, uncertain rabi rainfall,
