“…Zero tillage was at par with minimum tillage in yield and economics (Banjara et al 2017). Zero tillage was the most economical and attractive option for toria in Maniupur, India (Monika et al 2014). Marketable ears and fresh ear yield of sweet corn were higher in zero-tillage compared to conventional tillage (Etemadi et al 2018), which contradicts ndings of Gul et al (2011).…”

Achieving sustainable crop-water productivity and carbon efficiency of intensive cropping systems such as rice (Oryza sativa)-toria (Brassica campestris L. var. toria)-sweet corn (Zea mays con var. saccharata var. rugosa) system in Eastern India, need synergies of nutrient management, rice variety and crop establishment methods. Efficient nutrient management in rice, tillage and establishment of toria and sweet corn, were identified in two years (2018-19 and 2019-20) replicated field experiment conducted at Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. The treatments comprising of three nutrient management [N1: 100% Soil Test Based Nitrogen Recommendation (STBNR), N2: 75% STBNR + in situ green manuring of Dhaincha (GM) and N3: 50% STBNR + GM in rice, two rice varieties (V1: ‘Manaswini’ of 130 d duration and V2: ‘Hasanta’ of 145 d duration) and three crop establishment methods in toria viz., E1: Zero Till-Flat Bed (ZT-FB), E2: Conventional Till-Flat Bed (CT-FB) and E3: Conventional Till-Furrow Irrigated Raised Bed (CT-FIRB) were tried in split plot design with four replications. Sweet corn was grown after toria following the same lay out. Application of 75% STBNR+GM proved to be the best with the maximum system rice equivalent yield (REY) of 21.10 t ha-1, input water productivity (IWP) of 0.44 kg REY ha-mm-1, C output of 14,484 kg ha-1, carbon efficiency (CE) of 8.58 and carbon sustainability index (CSI) of 7.58. ‘Manaswini’ rice-based system registered 4% higher REY as compared to ‘Hasanta’ rice-based system, but both systems were at par for IWP, carbon output, CE and CSI. System involving CT-FIRB recorded the maximum REY, IWP and carbon output, registering marginally higher values than ZT-FB and significantly higher value than CT-FB. Both CT-FIRB and ZT-FB were at par for CE and CSI.

“…Resource-saving cultivation technologies are based on the use of no-till or minimum tillage, as well as fruitseed or grain-fallow crop rotations with a small fallow area [12]. Scientific research shows that ploughing is not always the best way of tillage.…”

The article describes prospects of resource saving technologies usage while rapeseed growth at regional agriculture. The importance of rapeseed in the chemical industry, energy, and oil production is considered. The article describes the importance, use, distribution and production of rapeseed in the world and in Russia along with its biological and botanical features. Strategic prospects for growing oilseed rape in Krasnoyarsk Krai are determined. The results of an experiment using resource-saving technologies for growing rapeseed in an agricultural enterprise in the Russian region are presented. Comparative characteristics of the use of resource-saving technologies per a hectare of grain crops and rapeseed are introduced at this article. The economic forecasting efficiency model of the use resource-saving technologies for rapeseed cultivation is presented. Technical, technological and organisational measures for resource saving technologies usage are offered at plant growing.

“…So, Mustard can be cultivated in zero or no tillage condition. No tillage is one of the best and important resource conservation technologies (Gupta, 2007;Monika et al, 2014) which is resource saving, delivers higher economic production (Hobbs et al, 2002), lessen cost of production (Reifschneider, 2007). This approach not only fosters input use efficiency but also preserves natural resources (Laxmi & Mishra 2007).…”

No-till (NT) or zero tillage (ZT) farming is an emerging cultivation technology which has already been adopted largely for mustard (Brassica sp.) production. Foremost problem of NT mustard cultivation is low yield; which is the consequences of inadequate or incomplete vegetative and reproductive growth. Among the many factors which determine growth and morpho-physical features of a plant, fertilizer or nutrient management is of utmost importance. Mass growers only apply major essential plant nutrients without considering the minor crucial elements necessary for soil and plant which leads to a higher yield gap and thereby good modern high yielding varieties fail to deliver potential yield. Taking into account the present study aimed to justify the application of boron (B) and its suitable rate on optimum vegetative growth under NT cultivation in mustard for gaining higher yield. The experiment was laid out in a factorial RCB design during the rabi season at BINA Sub-station, Ishurdi, Pabna. Two varieties viz. Binasarisha-9 (V1), BARI Sarisha-17 (V2) and six B doses viz. 0 kg ha -1 (B0), 1 kg ha -1 (B1), 2 kg ha -1 (B2), 3 kg ha -1 (B3), 4 kg ha -1 (B4), 5 kg ha -1 (B5) was used as the treatments. Data on growth (plant height, leaf number, primary and secondary branches) attributes were recorded at 15 days interval starting from 30 DAS (days after seeding) and harvest index (HI) calculated after crop cutting. Findings depicted that, maximum plant height, leaf number, primary and secondary branches were noted with B application between 2 kg ha -1 to 3 kg ha -1 . HI was significantly highest with treatment combination V1 × B3 (42.49%). Contrary, under growth and lowest HI (V2 × B0: 29.05%) was spotted with 0 kg ha -1 B usage. In general, appropriate growth and satisfactory HI of the mustard varieties were contingent upon 2 kg ha -1 to 3 kg ha -1 B use.
