ABSTRACT

An experiment was conducted during 1996-2001 at Soil and Water Management Research
Institute, Thanjavur for evolving more economic cropping system for cauvery delta zone with 9
cropping sequences. The five years experiment revealed that Rice + Sesbania rostrata direct
sowing (DS) at 10:1 in kharif – Rice + Sesbania rostrata direct sowing (DS) at 10:1 in Rabi –
Redgram in summer recorded the maximum rice grain equivalent yield of 14,356 kg/ha/yr with
net income of Rs.51,054/- ha/yr and BC ratio of 3.2 and it was comparable with rice – rice –
redgram and Rice + Sesbania rostrata transplanting (TP) at 10:1 in kharif - Rice + Sesbania
rostrata transplanting (TP) at 10:1 in Rabi and Sesame in summer.
