“…by which crop productivity is substantially increased. Land treatments (raised sunken bed system, ridges and furrows, broad bed and furrows) increased in situ soil moisture conservation, minimized runoff, and soil erosion (Singh et.al., 1999 andNagavallemma et al, 2005) and increased the yield of principal crops grown in the region (Mandal et al, 2005;Rajput et al, 2009). Hari Ram et al, 2012 concluded that raised bed, raised broad bed and ridge furrow sowing of soybean should be advocated over flatbed sowing mainly due to their ability to save irrigation water.…”

The field experiment was conducted during the two consecutive Kharif season of 2011 and 2012 to study ridge and furrow in-situ conservation system for soybean crop at farmer's fields in Badwani district of Madhya Pradesh under Nimar agro-climatic region. Result showed that growth and yield contributing character viz. plant population, plant height, root length, root nodules, pods per plant, seed yield weight per plant, seed yield, straw yield and harvest index (%) found higher in ridge and furrow system compared to the normal flatbed sowing method which subsequently resulted in yield enhancement to the extent of 8-23 % for soybean crop. Economic analysis revealed that the net profit was recorded higher under ridge and furrow system compared to normal flatbed sowing. B: C ratio was recorded as 3.35 and 3.23 under ridge and furrow system while 2.83 and 2.77 under flat sowing system for the year of 2011 and 2012 respectively.
