Abstract

Better and sustainable yields of each crop in potato-wheat-paddy rotation can be realized by adjusting planting schedules of the component crops in the rotation. In the current experiment, potato variety Kufri Ashoka, PBW 226 of wheat and hybrid PNR 551 of paddy proved to be the best for maximizing the productivity of potato-wheat-paddy rotation for eastern India.
