An experiment was carried out in eastern sub-Himalayan plains of India to assess the performances of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under various crop establishment techniques and to find out the influence of mulching and irrigation on productivity, moisture use and profitability of wheat cultivation. Results indicated the superiority of bed planting (BP) in terms of biomass production and grain yield over zero tillage (ZT) and conventional tillage (CT). Significantly higher biomass was recorded under bed planting (BP) over that under conventional tillage (CT) and zero tillage (ZT). Grain yield was increased by 13 and under BP over that under CT during 2015-16 and 2016-17, respectively. | Straw mulch and restricted irrigation effect on productivity profitability and water use in wheat Triticum aestivum L. under various crop establishment techniques in eastern sub-Himalayan plains of India
