Field experiments were conducted for 2 years on a well-drained upland sandy loam in West Bengal, India, to compare the performance of winter oilseed crops (safflower, niger, mustard cultivars Varuna and RW 351, linseed and yellow sarson) under two tillage treatments—zero and conventional tillage. With zero tillage, weeds were suppressed by the application of herbicide before sowing. Greater seed yields (27%) were achieved with conventional tillage as compared with zero tillage. However, safflower and linseed showed no significant difference in seed yields between the two tillage systems in the second year. |
