A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2008-09 and 2009-10 at the Maize Agricultural Research Station, University of agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to study the influence of resource conservation technologies in maize- chickpea sequence cropping. Three different tillage methods viz., conventional tillage, minimum tillage and zero tillage were used in the main plots with two sub-plot treatments viz., no mulching and mulching along with three sub-sub plots viz., Unweeded check, Atrazine @ 1.25 a.i kg/ha for kharif and alachlor @ 1.25 l a.i/ha for rabi seasons and atrazine @ 1.25 kg a.i /ha followed by 2, 4- D @ 2.00 kg a.i /ha for maize and pendimethalin @ 1.00 l a.i /ha for chickpea. Based on the findings of experimentations, higher yield attributes and grain yield of maize were obtained in conventional tillage. Similar trend was observed in the succeeding chickpea crop during both the years. The maize and chickpea yield under conventional tillage was about 9.98 and 11.27 per cent respectively higher than zero tillage. Mulching with maize stover significantly increased the grain yield of maize and chickpea were to an extent of 4.35 and 5.88 per cent respectively. Significantly lowest total weed density and weed dry weight were recorded in conventional tillage than minimum and zero tillage. Conventional tillage recorded the lowest depletion of nutrients in weeds and minimum B:C ratio among tillage practices.
