Description Field experiment was conducted during 1995-97 at Rahuri to study the comparative productivity and economicsof soybean [Glycine ,max (L.) Merr]-based cropping sequences under irrigated conditions. The treatments consisted of 6 crop sequences, viz soybean followed by wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.), safflower (Carthanws tinctorius L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czemj & Cosson) and kharif groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) - wheat with optimum irrigation at critical growth stages andsuboptimum irrigation by elimination of one irrigation from critical growth stages. The results revealed that the totalgrain equivalent yield of soybean-chickpea (6.59 tonnes/ha) was significantly higher than the rest of sequences andlowest was in groundnut-wheat (4.16 tonnes/ha). Optimum level of irrigation recorded maximum grain equivalentyield than suboptimum. The total consumptive use was maximum in soybean-wheat (55 cm) while water-use efficiency was higher in soybean-chickpea (153 kg/ha-cm). The total consumptive lise and water-use efficiency was 24% higher and 20% lower respectively, in optimum compared with the suboptimum irrigation. The.soybean-chickpea sequencegave significantly higher gross (Rs 59 274/ha) and net returns (Rs 46 530/ha) than rest of sequences followed bysoybean wheat sequence.
