Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during 2015 to 2019 at Research Farm of ICAR- Directorate of Groundnut Research, Junagadh, India to study the effects of tillage and residue management practices in two groundnut-based cropping systems. It could be concluded that minimum tillage along with residue application has the potential for higher system productivity, profitability, and improve the soil health.
