Description
The research experiment was conducted at Agriculture Research Station, Yavatmal Research Farm under Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola consecutively in Kharif–Rabi-Summer seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22 to identify the suitability of the profitable cropping system to enhance resource utilization in Central Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. The pooled results of Kharif–Rabi-Summer 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons revealed that, the cropping system with medium duration kharif cotton cultivar (PDKV JKAL-116) ̶ summer groundnut crop recorded significantly the highest crop equivalent yield (4120 kg ha-1) with highest GMR (Rs. 231394 ha-1), NMR (Rs. 152134 ha-1) and B:C ratio of 2.92. However, kharif cotton with early duration cultivar (Ajit-5) ̶ rabi chickpea cropping system (C3) recorded the highest system profitability of Rs. 449 kg/day/ha, which was closely followed by cropping system C6 i.e. medium duration kharif cotton ̶ summer groundnut system (Rs. 430 kg/day/ha) system profitability.
