| Abstract/Description: | THE PAPER DEALS WITH A STUDY CONDUCTED AT KOTA ( RAJASTHAN) TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFICACY OF CONTOUR CULTIVATION AND CASTOR+ GREENGRAM INTERCROPPING ON EROSION LOSSES, CROP YIELDS AND SOIL FERTILITY. CONTOUR CULTIVATION OF CROPS SHOWED LOWER RUNOFF AND SOIL LOSS THAN UP AND DOWN CULTIVATION. CASTOR+ GREENGRAM INTERCROPPING SHOWED 17.3 AND 21.9% LOWER RUNOFF AND 36.3 AND 29.8% LOWER SOIL LOSS THAN THE SOLE CASTOR UNDER UP AND DOWN AND CONTOUR CULTIVATION, RESPECTIVELY. IN GENERAL , THE LOSS OF NUTRIENTS FOLLOWED THE TREND OF SOIL LOSS. THE CONTOUR CULTIVATION INCREASED THE YIELD OF CASTOR BY 26.6 AND 13.0% COMPARED WITH UP AND DOWN CULTIVATION UNDER SOLE AND INTERCROPPED STANDS, RESPECTIVELY. THE CORRESPONDING INCREASE IN GREENGRAM YIELD WAS 19.6%. CONTOUR CULTIVATION DID NOT SHOW MARKED VARIATION IN SOIL FERTILITY THAN UP AND DOWN CULTIVATION. CASTOR+ GREENGRAM INTERCROPPING BEING COMPARABLE WITH INITIAL STATUS , SHOWED HIGHER VALUES OF ORGANIC CARBON AND AVAILABLE N AND K THAN SOLE CASTOR. |
