Productivity, Profitability and Monetary Net Return Use Efficiency of Need based Soybean (Glycine max) Cropping Systems under Vertisols in Malwa Plateau of India

Background: Long term regular practice of soybean-chickpea and soybean-wheat system in the growing region is posing severe problems before growers such as low productivity, profitability monetary net return use efficiency due to delayed sowing wheat market value produce well poor economic viability this cropping system. Methods: A field trial was laid out during monsoon (rainy), winter late seasons year 2015-16 2016-17 evaluate cost benefit sustainability soybean based crop sequences under Vertisols for Malwa Plateau at experimental Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Dhar, Madhya Pradesh Central India. In 16 sequences, sequenced with feasible crops viz. wheat, chickpea, garlic, onion, potato garden pea inclusion onion assessed randomized block design four replications. Results: Soybean (JS 93-05) - (Kufri jyoti) (AFLR) sequence registered highest equivalent yield (17731 kg/ha) maximum gross returns (₹ 4,83,207/ha), 3,62,170/ha), benefit: ratio (4.0) (per day return) (1156.01). Next (10443 ₹ 2,83,337/ha, 2,07,562/ha, 3.74 (879.81) recorded than existing (soybean-wheat soybean-chick pea).
