Table 9.
Effect of different CSA-based scenarios on dry matter accumulation (t ha−1) at different wheat crop growth stages and grain yield (t ha−1) (2 yrs’ mean).
| Scenariosa | Crown Root Initiation | Tillering | Panicle initiation | Harvest | Yield (t/ha) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.16Bb | 1.25C | 8.38B | 11.21C | 5.04B |
| 2 | 0.18B | 1.52B | 8.77B | 11.50BC | 5.44A |
| 3 | 0.43A | 1.41B | 9.26A | 12.00A | 5.54A |
| 4 | 0.36A | 1.74A | 9.37A | 11.98AB | 5.57A |
Where; CSA- climate smart agriculture, Sc1: conventional rice-wheat system, Sc2: partial CSA based rice-wheat-mungbean system, Sc3: full CSA based rice-wheat-mungbean system, Sc4: full CSA based maize-wheat-mungbean system.
