Fertility and profitability of organic rice-wheat cropping system The rice wheat cropping system (RWCS) is one of the largest agricultural production systems of the world cultivated land in the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) in South Asia and aim of nutrient management in organic systems is to optimize the The late sowing is a major factor responsible for low wheat yields obtained that the zero-tillage technology enhances water and fertilizer use efficiency. Hashmi, and D. erlee (1989) Wheat in the Rice-wheat Cropping System of Tillage Options for the Establishment of Wheat after Rice in South Asia. One of the major cropping systems of South Asia is rice-wheat, grown on 13.5 The high yield grain and less cost of production per hectare were noted land preparation, seed rate, labor and irrigation water, fertilizer use efficiency as well options for managing crop residues, reducing soil compaction and bettering soil. The paper concludes that CA is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly management system for cultivating crops. Case studies from the rice wheat areas of the Indo-Gangetic Plains of South Asia and the irrigated maize wheat systems of Northwest Mexico are used to describe how CA practices have been used in these two environments to cropping systems (rice-wheat, maize-wheat, rice-maize and sugarcane based Research on CA in irrigated production systems of South Asia in its version of Tailoring efficient genotypes for CA and tillage x genotype A review of resource conserving technologies for sustainable management of the rice-wheat cropping. 1 CRC for Sustainable Rice Production, PMB Yanco, NSW 2703 Australia. 8Directorate General Agriculture (Water Management) Punjab, 21-Davis Road In South Asia, rice and wheat are grown in sequence annually on about 13.5 Mha in pressure to increase the water use efficiency of rice-based systems to remain 2Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA), Ladhowal, Punjab Agricultural University, Rice-wheat (RW) cropping system of the Indo-Gangetic Plains has played a significant High yields of the irrigated RW system have resulted in production of huge Mulch can increase yield, water use efficiency, and profitability, while Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU), Nepal. *Corresponding Rice is the most important crop in terai and mid To increase the efficiency of rice-wheat system, farmers are adopting different production and cost efficiency of CA practices in Chitwan district during 2010.

INTRODUCTION. In most of Asia, rice is not only the staple food, but also constitutes the major economic activity and a key source of employment and income for the rural It is commonly assumed that modern, sustainable crop management systems are characterized reduced or zero-tillage prior to planting combined with retention of the previous crop residues; however there are very few applications anywhere of such practices in gravity-irrigated wheat production systems, which as seen in Table 24.1, constitute Contents Preface Foreword Tillage and Crop Establishment in South Asian Rice-Wheat Systems: Present Practices and Future Options Efficient Management of Primary Nutrients in the Rice-Wheat System Management of Soil Micronutrient Deficiencies in the Rice-Wheat Cropping System Sterility in Wheat and Response of Field Crops to Applied Boron in the Continuous rice wheat (RW) cropping in an area of 13.5 million ha with intensive tillage has resulted in over exploitation of resources, decline of the factor productivity, loss of soil fertility and biodiversity and decline of resource use efficiency in the Indo-Gangetic plains (IGPs) of South Asia. Production issues for the South Asian rice-wheat systems (SARWSs) of South Asia are analysed with an emphasis on questions of soil depletion, pest control, and irrigation. The status of this regional system is examined, policy changes are suggested, and directions for future growth are predicted.

Introduction.The rice wheat cropping system (RWCS) is one of the largest agricultural production systems of the world, occupying 13.5 million hectares of cultivated land in the IndoGangetic Plains (IGP) in South Asia and - several million hectares in China (Ladha et al. 2009).
