Conservation farming result systems (CAPS), individual of the atmosphere companionable approaches, aid in maintaining soil quality, output, and peasants pay after deductions. Through a system output an d worth study, belongings of diminished tillage, intercropping, and cover cutting methods tailor-made for maize-located systems were evaluated over a three-period ending (2011-2014) in rainfed uplands of Odisha, India. Results showed maize seed yield acted not disagree considerably over time or between CAPS situations while cowpea yield was thought-out as an additional yield in intercropping structures. The entire CAPS exercise had considerably higher whole output and net benefit than common ranchers practice.
