Abstract
The experiment was performed in rabi, zaid and kharif seasons of 2013-14 and 2014-15 to study the bio-intensification possibilities in different cropping systems at Research Farm, FSR center, Main Campus, Chatha, SKUAST-Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir, India located at an latitude of 320 40’ N and Longitude 740. 58’E with an altitude of 332 m above mean sea level. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (factorial) with 15 treatments and three replications. Treatments comprised of five crop bio-intensification treatments viz., Wheat–Rice, Wheat (FIRB) + Lentil (Border) – Moongbean– Sesbania (Brown Manuring) + Rice (Furrow) + Moongbean (Flat Bed), Lentil (Broad Bed) + Mustard (Border)–Moongbean–Maize (Broad Bed) + Sorghum (Furrow), Mustard + Gobi Sarson–Moongbean–Rice (Furrow) + Moongbean (Flat Bed), Wheat + Mustard (6:1)–Moongbean–Maize (Flat Bed) + Cowpea (Border) and three nutrient management practices viz., 100% Organic, 100% Inorganic and Integrated Nutrient Management (50:50 RDF through inorganic and organic (FYM)). The plot size was 4.90 m × 3 m with 2 m border and buffer zone on both sides to curtail water run-off between adjacent plots. Under different treatments (crop bio-intensification and nutrient management) the grain yield, straw yield and total bio-mass (q. /ha.) of lentil was found varying. Grain yield, straw yield and total bio-mass of lentil was observed more in second year rabi 2015-16 than first year rabi 2014-15, whereas among crop bio-intensification, lentil crop sown under Lentil (BB) + Mustard (B) – Summer Moongbean - Maize (B) + Sorghum (F) practice produced grain yield, straw yield and total bio-mass than the crop sown under Wheat (FIRB)+Lentil (B)-Summer Moongbean -BM+ Rice (F)+ Moongbean (B) during both the years of experimentation. Among nutrient management, it has been observed that application of 100 % in- organic showed higher grain yield, straw yield and total bio-mass, than 100% organic (FYM) and INM (50:50) during first and second year of experimentations.
