Maize Based Conservation Agriculture Production Systems (CAPS) Improves Crop Yield, System Productivity and Profitability in Rainfed Uplands of India| Chapter 1 | Research Highlights in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

 Conservation farming production systems (CAPS), individual of the environment companionable approaches, aid in preserving soil quality, output, and farmers pay after deductions. Through a system productivity an d appropriateness study, effects of diminished tillage, intercropping, and cover cropping methods tailored for maize-located systems were assessed over a three-old age period (2011-2014) in rainfed uplands of Odisha, India. Results showed maize piece yield did not disagree significantly over time or with CAPS treatments while cowpea yield was thought-out as an additional yield in intercropping systems. The adequate CAPS implementation had considerably higher system output and net benefit than conventional ranchers practice.
