Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during 2007 to 2010 at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Farm, Sartangal to evaluate productivity of eight different crop sequences.Highest grain yield in terms of maize equivalent yield (8.53t/ha) was recorded in oat-maize + rajmash sequence followed by wheat- maize + rajmash (8.16 t/ha) and wheat-rice (8.14 t/ha). Oat-maize + rajmash sequence gave maximum land use efficiency (95.07%) and apparent nutrient productivity (32.83 kg/ha).
