Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2019-20 and 2020-21 at the Bhadiarkhar farm, Department of Agronomy, COA, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur to study the influence of natural and conventional farming practices on yield and profitability of wheat based intercropping systems. The experiment constituted of ten treatments in randomized block design with three replications. Results indicated that significantly highest wheat grain equivalent yield (3853 kg/ha) was recorded in wheat + gram (1:1) under conventional farming practices, while, significantly higher gross return (106392 ₹/ha) and net return (69889 ₹/ha) were recorded in sole wheat applied with conventional farming treatments. However, wheat + gram (1:1) under conventional farming practices reported highest benefit cost ratio (1.94) along with highest gross return per rupee invested (2.94) which were statistically similar to sole wheat.
