Long-term conservation agriculture-based practices impact crop yields, returns and yield stability in rice-wheat rotations in eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains of India by Jat, Raj K., Kumar, Sunil, Kumar, Mukesh, Singh, Yadvinder, Bijarniya, Deepak, Kalvania, Kailash C., Dharamvir Singh Rana, Laing, Alison M., Krupnik, Timothy J., Jat, Mangi Lal, Gathala, Mahesh K., Choudhary, K.M.
