Table 5.
Grain yield, net benefit and benefit cost ratio of beushening and drill-DSR (Experiment I).
| Variables* | Treatments | Bhadrak (N = 10) | Mayurbhanj (N = 10) | Cuttack (N = 4) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grain yield (t ha−1) | Beushening | 5.14 | 3.30 | 5.97 |
| Drill-DSR | 5.44 | 5.04 | 7.27 | |
| LSD0.05 | 0.43 | 0.14 | 1.10 | |
| Net benefit (US$ ha−1) | Beushening | 680 | 158 | 878 |
| Drill-DSR | 846 | 708 | 1273 | |
| LSD0.05 | 95 | 35 | 293 | |
| Benefit cost ratio | Beushening | 2.5 | 1.3 | 3.0 |
| Drill-DSR | 3.4 | 2.7 | 4.8 | |
| LSD0.05 | 0.3 | 0.9 | 0.8 |

All the variables were significantly different (LSD test at P ≤ 0.05) between beushening and drill-DSR in all three districts except grain yield at Bhadrak.
