Experiment Title EVALUATION OF APPROPRIATE CROP SEQUENCES AFTER DIFFERENT DURATION RICE VARIETIES
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Rice-based cropping system can be described as a mixture of farming practices that comprise of rice as the major crop followed by subsequent cultivation of other crops. Rice-based cropping system is a major cropping system practised in India, which includes crop rotation involving cereals, pulses, oilseeds, cotton, sugarcane, green manures, vegetable, etc. Various rice-based cropping systems have been reported from different parts of India ranging from rice-rice-rice to rice followed by different cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables and fibre crops. Rice based cropping systems may include lowland and upland crops. So far, most people have been focusing on individual crops disregarding the fact that each crop is only a component of a cropping system. In rice growing areas, several crop combinations (cropping systems) are in practice based on agro-ecological conditions, market and domestic needs and facilities available to farmers. An experiment has been proposed to determine the rice based cropping systems suitable for South Gujarat conditions. Hence, this experiment is proposed.
