A field experiment was conducted at All India co-ordinated Research Project on Safflower, V.N.M.K.V., Parbhani on a clayey soil during Rabi season of 2018 to find out the effect of with two factors viz., Selective mechanization plot (SMP) and Farmer practice (FP) with two treatments. Each experimental unit was non replicated. The fertilizer dose of 40:40:20 NPK kg ha-1 was applied at the time of sowing. The field experiment consist of treatment combinations for comprising practices on mechanization and non-mechanization (Farmer practice) i.e. sowing, spraying and harvesting on soybean-safflower cropping sequence. Experiment was laid out in two different plots each having 1000 m2 area without replication one is under mechanization another one non-mechanization i.e. farmer practices for sowing, intercultural operations, spraying and harvesting, so that it tested in T-test plot design. The results of the experiments revealed that, application of mechanization practices in soybean-safflower cropping systems recorded significantly higher growth and yield of safflower than farmer practices. The seed yield was observed 24% increase under mechanized condition than to farmer's practice.
