 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was conducted for kharif and rabi season on soybean – wheat cropping system for two consecutive years (2010-11 and 2011-12) in a clayey in texture soil at the Agronomy Department Research Farm, Dr. PDKV, Akola (Maharashtra) India. To evaluate the energy studies of soybean-wheat cropping sequence under  organic sources .The results  revealed  that  significant enhancement in the energy output (155271 and 148563 Mj ha-1), energy balance (139322 and 132656 Mj ha-1), energy balance per unit input (8.74 and 8.34 Mj ha-1) and energy output per unit input ratio (9.74 and 9.34 Mj ha-1) of the soybean-wheat cropping system with  the application of 100 % recommended dose of nitrogen through vermicompost + jeevamrut  followed by 100 % recommended dose of nitrogen through vermicompost  during the period of study. Thus ,use of organic sources  vermicompost + jeevamrut  and vermicompost alone  significantly improved the Energy output, energy balance per unit input and energy output per unit input ratioof the soybean-wheat cropping system.

Key words: Soybean-wheat cropping system, Energy output, Energy balance, Energy balance per unit input, Energy output per unit input ratio
