This 5 year study looked at the effect of CA on energy budget, water productivity and profitability in rice-wheat (RW) and maize-wheat (MW) based systems of the IGP of India. CA based RW and MW systems enhanced crop productivity by 10 and 16%, water productivity by 56 and 33% and profitability by 38 and 32% compared to their respective CT systems. CA based systems also recorded the highest net energy and energy-intensiveness levels of 251 and 300% compared to the respective CT systems.
