A field experiment conducted from 1989-90 to 1993-94 revealed that amo
ng the different irrigation schedules adopted for individual crop sign
ificantly affected wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) a
nd Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj. & Cosson]. Among the d
ifferent cropping sequences, rice (Oryza sativa L.)-wheat recorded the
highest yield on rice equivalent basis with maximum production effici
ency. This sequence also secured the highest net return and benefit:co
