Rainfed Agriculture had played a great role in the food security of India. A field experiment on sandy loam soil was conducted during Summer and kharif season of 2016 and 2017 at Biswanath College of Agriculture, Assam Agricultural University, Biswanath Charilai to study the effect of moisture conservation practices in terms of land configuration and residue management in direct seeded rice-greengram cropping sequence. The experiment was conducted in RBD with six moisture conservation practices (Flatbed with crop residue incorporation, Flatbed without crop residue incorporation, Broad Bed Furrow (BBF) 60-30cm bed with residue incorporation, BBF 60-30cm bed without residue incorporation, BBF 120-30cm bed with residue incorporation and BBF 120-30cm bed without residue incorporation) with 4 replication. The growth, yield attributes, seed and stover yield (q ha-1) of both the crop viz. direct seeded rice and greengram were better in BBF as compared to flatbed method of moisture conservation. Among the BBF, the crop residue incorporated treatments performed better over no residue incorporation. The equivalent yield of the system higher in both BBF over flatbed and BBF 120-30cm size bed showed comparatively higher net return and B:C ratio.
