International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges &<br />

Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

foxtail millet -safflower, bajra-bengalgram, bajra -cowpea, bajra –safflower, finger milletbengalgram,<br />

finger millet –cowpea and finger millet -safflower) having different crop<br />

sequences <strong>of</strong> which first crop was sown during Kharif and second crop in Rabi with a<br />

recommended spacing <strong>of</strong> 30 cm x10 cm. The varieties Suryanandi (foxtail millet),<br />

Champavathi (finger millet) and bajra (ABV-5) were used during Kharif and during Rabi<br />

cowpea (TPT-5), safflower (Local) and JG-11 (bengalgram) were used in the two years <strong>of</strong><br />

study. Observations on yield was recorded and equivalent yields along with net returns and<br />

B: C ratio was computed.<br />

Results<br />

The compiled data <strong>of</strong> the two years study revealed that among the Kharif crops (foxtail<br />

millet, bajra, finger millet) the maximum bajra equivalent yield was recorded in bajra (2706-<br />

2753 kg/ha) followed by foxtail (2487- 2574 kg/ha) and lowest in finger millet (2097-2255<br />

kg/ha). In Rabi crops highest cowpea equivalent yield was recorded in cowpea (1030-1293<br />

kg/ha) followed by bengalgram and safflower. Among the different crop sequences<br />

evaluated maximum system yield was recorded with bajra- cowpea sequence (4032 kg/ha)<br />

followed by bajra-bengalgram (3827 kg/ha) and was significantly superior over the other<br />

crop sequences with net returns <strong>of</strong> 65181 Rs/ha (B: C ratio 2.41), 55319 Rs/ha (B: ratio 2.14)<br />

respectively.Similarly, higher system productivity in terms <strong>of</strong> bengalgram equivalent yield<br />

was also reported by Lal et al. (2004) in a millet-bengalgram crop sequence.<br />
