aRefer Table 5 for scenario description; 1 USD = 66.26 INR.

bMeans followed by a similar uppercase letter(s) within a column in a given year are not significantly different at 0.05 level of probability using Tukey’s HSD test.

cNot applicable.

*Figures in parenthesis under grain yield represents the actual yield of maize. However, in cost of cultivation and net returns represents the actual values without SDI system subsidy (details are available in Supplementary Table 4).
