“…This may be attributed to better seedbed preparation, which might have facilitated better root growth in the no-till plots. These findings could be supported by the previous observations of Quddus et al (2020) in various growth parameters of winter chickpeas with various tillage operations. Among the different lentil varieties studied, the maximum number of nodules plant −1 was found in the short-duration variety L4717 at all the growth stages (Supplemenatry Table S3 and Figures 3-5) in both years.…”

“…Tillage treatments could be arranged as zero tillage (19.30 and 19.95 g) > relay cropping (18.70 and 18.64 g) > conventional tillage (18.00 and 17.85 g) regarding this parameter during 2018-19 and 2019-20. The higher yield attributes in zero tillage plots of lentil crops are also similar to the results of earlier work (Bandyopadhyay et al, 2018;Chauhan et al, 2019;Quddus et al, 2020). The L4717 variety recorded a higher test weight (18.90 and 19.05 g) in both the years of study than the long-duration variety Moitri (18.45 and 18.60 g).…”

Crop management practices and variety are two very important parameters that decides the crop performance. A field experiment was carried out during the two consecutive rabi seasons of 2018–19 and 2019–20 to determine the impact of sowing timing, tillage operation, and variety on the growth, development, yield characteristics, and nitrogen uptake in lentil crops. The experiment was conducted in a split-split plot design with 3 replications comprising two different sowing conditions (S1: early sowing after harvesting of short duration kharif rice, S2: delayed sowing after harvesting of long duration kharif rice) in main plots, three different tillage operations (T1: Relay cropping, T2: Zero tillage, T3: Conventional tillage) in subplots and two different varieties (V1: short duration: L4717, V2: long period: Moitri) in subplots. The findings demonstrated a substantial interaction between sowing time, tillage, and variety on various growth and yield parameters of lentil crops. The early sowing of lentil crops (early November) yielded 4.8% more (1,105 kg ha−1) than late November sowing and adapting to the short-duration variety L4717 over the long-duration cultivar Moitri resulted in a yield increase of 5.9% (1,086 kg ha−1). Apart from providing a higher yield, it also provided an opportunity to take another crop like leafy vegetables. Among the three tillage practices adopted, conventional tillage produced the lowest yield (1,017 kg ha−1) in both experimental years. In contrast, a yield increase of 6.9% and 26.9% in relay cropping and zero tillage systems was observed, respectively. Early-sown lentils with no-tillage and a short-duration variety reached a certain phenophase faster than other combinations (life cycle: 96.2 and 98.7 days for lentils in both years). For both the sowing times, the growth parameters and the number of nodules plant−1 were highly correlated with nitrogen uptake at different stages of the life cycle. High net returns (Rs. 51,220 and 59,257) leading to higher benefit-cost ratios were observed under the treatment combination of early sowing + zero tillage + short duration variety. Therefore, the study found that short-duration lentil cultivars in combination with early sowing in the zero-tillage system are the best agronomic approach for the sustainability of lentil production after the monsoon rice harvest.

“…Research by Quddus et al [12] showed "variation in growth and yield attributes of chickpea due to different tillage (zero, single, two, three and four times tillage) practices except 100-seed weight. They obtained tallest plant (48.9 cm and 50.1 cm) under zero tillage treatment as compared to the single, two, three and four times tillage treatments, they stated that tallest plant under zero tillage condition observed might be due to availability of optimum soil moisture in soil for available nutrients to plant uptake".…”

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.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is grown in rabi (post-rainy season) following kharif (rainy season) crop or kharif fallow. Late sowing (December-January) should be avoided as the late-sown crop may experience moisture stress and high temperatures at the critical stage of pod-filling, leading to reduced yield and seed quality. A pre-sowing irrigation may be needed, if the available soil moisture is not adequate for germination. Kabuli chickpea should never be irrigated immediately after sowing, particularly in deep black soils. Desi varieties are sown at plant geometry of 30 cm x 10 cm whereas wider row spacing (45–60 cm) can be used in large seeded kabuli chickpea and irrigated crops (both desi and kabuli types). Total quantities of N, P and K should be given as a basal dose. Foliar spray of 2% urea at flowering has been found beneficial in rainfed crops. Pre-emergence application of Pendimethalin 30% EC @ 0.75 – 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1 and one hand weeding or interculture operations at 25-30 days after sowing is economical. Two irrigations (30 mm each), one each at branching and pod filling stages, are recommended for higher yield. Machine harvesting of chickpea will reduce production cost. Tall and non spreading plant varieties are available with suitable mechanization package.
