• Among the stubble heights, wheat crop sown in standing rice stubbles at 45 cm height performed the best with maximum germination, 1000 grain weight and grain yield. In crux, direct drilling of wheat by turbo seeder in rice field combine harvested at 45 cm stubble height is the most viable technology for rice-wheat cropping system. © 2017 Friends Science Publishers. Keywords: No-tillage; Crop residue; Rice-wheat production system; Stubble height Introduction The rice-wheat system produces crop residues of about 7- 10 t ha-1. Generally, farmers burn residues to prepare the field for next crop, which results in the loss of nutrients i.e. nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur (Mandal et al., 2004). [...]it is necessary to recycle these residues to meet nutrient prerequisites of field crops. Lack of appropriate technology is considered as the major constraint regarding direct drilling of wheat into heavy stubbles of rice, because direct drilling causes blockage of seeding equipment and less soil-seed contact (Erenstein et al., 2008; Rehman et al., 2015). No-tillage system produces equal or sometime more germination and crop yield as compared to conventional tillage system. [...]this study was conducted to evaluate different no-till techniques at varying heights of standing rice stubbles for direct drilling of wheat in combine harvested rice field and to calculate the economic feasibility of different no-till techniques in rice wheat cropping system. Productivity and economics of rice-wheat cropping system as affected by methods of sowing and tillage practices in the eastern plains. Rice residue management options and effects on soil...
