The experiment consisting of three residue management practices viz. R1: Residue retention (Happy Seeder), R2: Residue incorporation (Super Seeder), R3: Conventional tillage and three nitrogen management viz., N1: 75 % of RDN, N2: 100 % of RDN, N3: 125% of RDN and two Osmoregulators viz., O1: 1.0 % KCl, O2: Water sprays. The results revealed that a significant increase in growth was observed in residue management residue incorporation (Super Seeder), nitrogen management in 125% of RDN and Osmoregulators in 1 % KCl.
