Description A field experiment was conducted during kharif and rabi in 2016-17 and 2017-18
at International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-arid Tropics, Patancheru,
Hyderabad to study the influence of tillage practices and residue management
practices on yield attributes and yield of maize in maize-based cropping systems
under semi-arid tropics. The field experiment was laid out on broad-beds and
furrows in a split-split design with four replications under rainfed conditions.
Main plot consisted of two tillage practices (minimum tillage and conventional
tillage), sub-plot of two crop residue management practices (residue addition and
no-residue addition) and sub-sub plot of two cropping systems (Maize-chickpea
sequential cropping and maize+pigeonpea intercropping system). The results
revealed that equivalent yield, system productivity and nutrient content of maize
did not vary significantly due to tillage practices, however, minimum tillage led to
considerable yield losses. Among the residue management practices, addition of
crop residue recorded significantly higher equivalent yield as compared to no
residue addition. System productivity was significantly higher under residue
addition and maize-chickpea copping system. Stover nitrogen content was
significantly higher under residue addition over no residue addition.
