Eight integrated crop management (ICM) practices were evaluated for six years consecutively, which are ICM1&2: ‘business-as-usual’ (conventional transplanted rice fb flatbed wheat), ICM3&4: conventional direct seeded (DSR) furrow irrigated raised-bed wheat without residues, ICM5&6: conservation agriculture (CA)-based zero-tilled (ZT) DSR ZT with the and residues ICM7&8: CA-based ZTDSR wheat, mu...

Abstract Environmental alarms like climate change and rising air pollution levels in north India, particularly the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR), draw attention to severe issue of Rice straw burning. Straw burning is common practice Punjab Haryana’s Indo-Gangetic plains. Large-scale residues (straw stubble) a problem that emits Green House Gases (GHGs) while polluting air, posing health p...

In this study, the effects of integrated farming system on residue recycling and soil quality in rice-based systems have been examined. The effective nutrient budget for nitrogen was found higher with rice-fishpoultry- cowpea negative values were obtained rice-chili rice-baby corn systems. However, budgets phosphorus potassium all these cropping results indicated that, about ten tonnes organic ...
