Abstract

Cropping system-based approach of research in holistic manner was felt essential only during the last decade to sustain crop-productivity levels attained through high-yielding modern varieties and improved agro-techniques. Efficient cropping systems with respect to biological potential and efficiencies of land, water and nutrients use are discussed and research results are updated for ways to increase resource-use efficiencies in prevalent mUltiple cropping systems in the country.
