“…3 turns of cultivator also brought taller plants of Bhakkar-2011. These results are in accordance with the findings that 3 turns of cultivator significantly enhanced the plant height of maize plants (Anjum et al, 2019). The obtained results are however, contradictory to the outcomes of Banjara et al, 2017 who stated that zero and minimum tillage system increased height of chickpea plants. Such contradictions can be owing to varying water resources available, climatic and soil agro-normals, besides varietal and management factors.…”

Selection of suitable tillage technique can ensure most productive use of available hill torrent water in spate irrigated areas for improved crop productivity and profitability. During rabi season 2021-22, a field study on chickpea was undertaken in Vidor hill torrent command area of Dera Ghazi Khan Punjab, Pakistan. In this experiment three cultivars of chickpea viz Bittle-2016, Thal-2020 and Bhakhar-2011 were evaluated under spate irrigated conditions along with local cultivar (Farmer practice) for comparison. Tillage practices at the seedbed preparation stage evaluated were cultivator and rotavator as follows i.e. T1= Two turns of cultivator (Farmer practice), T2=Three turns of cultivator, T3=Two turns of cultivator + one turn of rotavator, T4= one turn of cultivator + one turn of rotavator. The experiment was conducted under randomized complete block design (RCBD) with factorial arrangement and treatments were replicated three times. Soil moisture was measured through gravimetric method and chickpea yield parameters were estimated as per standard procedures. The means were tested for significance using HSD Tuckey’s test at 5 % level of probability. Results revealed that cultivars and tillage practices showed significant variations for tested parameters. In this experiment maximum soil moisture conservation, number of branches per plant, pods per plant, seeds per pod, seed yield (kg ha-1) and harvest index (%) were observed from Farmer practice i.e. 2 turns of cultivator under local cultivar used. Moreover, comparatively similar results were revealed from the plots where 3 turns of cultivator was run and Thal-2020 cultivar was grown under the local conditions of Vidor hill torrent command area of Dera Ghazi Khan, Punjab, Pakistan. Plots where 2 turns cultivator was used, the maximum benefit cost ratio (BCR, 1.85) was observed from local cultivar (Farmer practice). Moreover, among newly tested cultivars, Thal-2020 showed encouraging results in terms of soil moisture contents, yield attributes with BCR 1.73 in plots where 2 turns cultivator was run. Under the prevailing agro normals of spate irrigated conditions of Vidor hill torrent command area, farmers should use 2 turns of cultivator with local cultivar. However, more research is needed to acclimatize latest varieties of chickpea after adaptability trials.

“…"Performance of zero tillage and minimum tillage both achieved well and produced taller plant, maximum number of branches per plant, the highest number of pods per plant. The highest number of pods plant -1 was realized in zero tillage which is related with more branching" [6]. "The climatic condition of zero tillage plots might be favoured to growth and development of chickpea plant.…”

“…"Present agriculture has globally been facing major challenges including soil erosion which drastically lowers the crop yield. Chickpea can increase the productivity both in terms of N saving from fertilizer sources and build up soil fertility through biological source of N" [6]. "In rice-chickpea cropping system (RCCS), the sowing of chickpea often delayed until last November or early December either due to late harvesting of rice or more time required to seedbed preparation for chickpea seeding.…”

In many nations across the world, farming is an important industry. Sustainable farming methods known as zero tillage systems entail planting seeds without tillage, which disturbs the soil. With this approach, crop residues from the previous year are left on the earth's surface and new plants are planted straight into the undisturbed soil, as opposed to plowing. This method aids in preserving the structure of the soil, decreasing soil erosion, retaining more water, and enhancing soil health. Farmers can benefit from enhanced soil health, decreased soil erosion, higher crop yields, and environmental sustainability by implementing sustainable farming practices. By limiting soil disturbance and shielding soil particles from the elements, this system aids in the reduction of soil erosion. Additionally contributes to improved soil structure, which raises soil fertility, and helps hold onto soil moisture, which lessens the need for irrigation. The amount of tillage and fuel used in zero-tillage systems can be less than in conventional tillage methods. In comparison to traditional tillage methods, systems require less fuel and tillage, which can save farmers money and lessen their carbon footprint. This is true because these systems raise soil organic matter levels, which in turn raise soil nutrient availability and improve soil fertility. Moreover, zero tillage systems can increase water retention in the soil, which can enhances crop growth and yield by improving soil structure and moisture retention, while also reducing weed competition. By reducing soil erosion, conserving soil moisture, and improving soil health, these systems help to promote environmental sustainability. Also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing fuel usage and sequester carbon in the soil through the accumulation of crop residues. Therefore, farmers should adopt zero-tillage systems to enhance their productivity, reduce costs, and promote environmental sustainability.

“…Tillage is a process of mechanical manipulation of soil with tools and implements for obtaining conditions ideal for seed germination, seedling establishment and growth of the crops. The long term objective of tillage is to provide a structure favourable for establishment of proper seed soil contact (Slipher, 1932).Tillage methods affects the sustainable resources through its influence on soil properties and crop growth (Banjara et al 2017). Energy has become costly and profound, to tackle this efficiently conservation tillage method has been developed as an alternative (Kuzucu and Dokmen, 2015).…”

In Indian scenario, pulses are usually cultivated based on traditional experience acquired from our ancestors. Inflation in demand for pulses can’t be met out with existing production practices resulting deficit in availability of pulses. To cater this domestically promotion of easily adoptable low cost production strategies needs wider attention aiming to improve pulse productivity in the country. This review discusses the capacity of various improved pulse production practices in scaling up pulse productivity and on other hand provides future prospects for sustaining pulse production with a prime aim to double the farmer’s income.
