G. Pratibha et al., EFFECT OF TILLAGE METHOD ON GROUNDNUT (ARACHIS-HYPOGAEA) YIELD IN A RICE (ORYZA-SATIVA) BASED CROPPING SYSTEM, Indian Journal of Agronomy, 41(2), 1996, pp. 195-198
A field experiment was conducted during 1989-91 to find out the effect
of tillage practices on yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in a
rice (Oryza sativa L.)-based cropping system on a sandy-loam soil. St
and establishment, growth and yield were improved with an increase in
intensity of tillage practices. Seed bed prepared with tractor drawn M
.B. plough once supplemented by rotovator resulted in 131 and 47.9% hi
gher pod yields over zero tillage and conventional system (ploughing t
wice with country plough).
