The field experiment was conducted at Central Research Station (CRS) of Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. The experiment field consist of 6 different treatments and 4 replications viz., conservation tillage (1 blade harrow before sowing) (T1), conservation tillage (1 Tyne+1 blade harrow) (T2), sub- surface tillage (90 cm H.I+2 Tyne+ blade harrow) (T3). Economical sub-surface tillage (1 sub surface +1 tyne+1 blade harrow) (T4), 1 Ploughing+ 2 Tyne +1 blade harrow (T5), Across the slope cultivation with opening of BBF after two row+2 tyne+1 blade harrow (T6). Water use efficiency was more dominant in treatment T3 (2.92kg ha-1mm-1), the energy efficiency is maximum for treatment T3 (3.7) followed by treatments, T4, T5, T6, T2and T1.
