affluence of paddy straw mulch on crop productivity and economics of bed and fiat sown wheat (Triticum aestivum) under different irrigation schedules

摘要

Aim: Extensive cultivation of paddy and burning of paddy straw by farmers in north-western India has led to a serious problem of decreased underground water table along with degradation of soil health and environmental pollution. The utilization of paddy straw as mulch in wheat crop can be a good option to solve these problems. So, a field experiment was conducted with the objective to study the influence of paddy straw mulch on productivity and economics of bed and flat sown wheat crop under different irrigation schedules.
