A field experiment was conducted to study “effect of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] based cropping systems on biomass production in Vertisols of Madhya Pradesh” during kharif, rabi and zaid seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17 at the research farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Dhar, M.P. Soybean crop was sequenced with feasible rabi viz. Wheat (Triticum aestivum and Triticum durum L.), Chick pea (Cicer arietinum L.), Garlic (Allium sativum L.), Onion (Allium cepa L.), Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) crops with inclusion of Garlic (Allium sativum L.), Onion (Allium cepa L.) in zaid and tested in randomized block design with four replications. Inclusion of Garlic (Allium sativum L.) and Onion (Allium cepa L.) during zaid significantly increased the soybean-equivalent yield. Soybean (JS 93-05) - Potato (Kufri jyoti) - Onion (AFLR) cropping sequence significantly recorded the highest productivity (172.15 and 182.47 q/ha, respectively) during both the years in terms of soybean-equivalent yield. Next highest system productivity in terms of soybean-equivalent yield was significantly recorded in Soybean (JS 95-60) - Potato (Kufri jyoti) - Onion (AFLR) with 168.17 and 178.20 q/ha and Soybean (JS 93-05) - Onion (AFLR) (100.81 and 108.05 q/ha) cropping sequence during both years as compared to existing cropping sequences i.e. Soybean-wheat (47.55 q/ha) and soybean-chick pea (41.46 q/ha) of the locality.
