hey mate

here is your answer :-

is a form of multiple cropping in which crops are grown in sequence on the same field, with the succeeding crop planted after harvest of the preceding crop. This system with relatively short growing season crops offers better total annual use of land than a single crop system. The prominent sequential cropping systems involving different pulses have been discussed crop wise.

Rice-Chickpea/ Lentil/ Field pea

With the development of wheat varieties amenable for late-planting up to late December and January, the area under rice-wheat system has increased at a faster rate in the last two decades. The adverse effect of this system on soil health is being widely recognized.

In recent years, development of early maturing varieties of chickpea suitable for planting up to mid of December with yield potential of 15-20 q/ha has enabled farmers to adopt rice-chickpea system instead of cereal-cereal system especially in the tail end of command areas in eastern U.P. and Bihar. Similarly on the upland of Punjab, Haryana and western U.P., where cotton is grown as commercial crop, chickpea can be successfully introduced. Under resource constraint particularly irrigation water, chickpea is more remunerative than wheat. In low land areas of eastern region, lentil proved to be better one over chickpea. The major constraints in fast spread of this system are limited choice of improved varieties and incidence of pod borer, Botrytis gray mold, Ascochyta blight besides poor soil tilth and nodulation.




I hope it helps you
