Abstract
Maize crop can be grown under rainfed conditions with
conventional tillage and by adopting minimum tillage using 30 per cent residue
of the previous wheat crop as mulch. In 2017, the highest returns were obtained
in maize crop sown with minimum tillage and mulching. However, in 2018 the
highest returns were obtained in conventional tillage. The highest mean B: C
ratio was recorded in conventional tillage and the lowest in conventional
tillage with growing mash as intercrop. The intercropping of mash crop in
rainfed maize under conventional tillage was not profitable as it increased the
cost of cultivation for raising the additional crop, which did not increase the
profit to that extent.
