Abstract: This study was conducted at the Rice Research Institute Dokri for three years from Rabi 1997-98 to 1999-2000. The object of this study was to compare zerotillage-sowing method of wheat with conventional method for grain yield and net benefit. Zerotillage sowing method gave 8.30% more yields than conventional method. Moreover tillage cost was reduced up to 8 % while increase in net benefit 28 % was achieved. Economically zerotillage-sowing method proved better with CBR 1.25 than conventional method with CBR 0.926.
