Note: TPR: Puddled Transplanted Rice, CTW: Conventionally Tilled Wheat, ZTW: Zero-tilled Wheat, TPRAWD: TPR with Alternate Wetting and Drying, ZTDSR: Zero-tilled Direct Seeded Rice, RI: Residue incorporation and RR: Residue retention; The mean values sharing any common small cap letters under demark no significant differences in between (p > 0.05) and vice-versa
