This year also planning to do no-till experiment in my two plots in which I had tried rice last year. It was lying idle in the summer and had some weeds, cut them and mulched back. Also had piled up cut pureria last year which had decomposed, spread that also in the field. Weeds were much less after the no-till, can see that very strong weeds have disappeared.
Planning to do rice for the first crop and finger millet and foxtail millet as the second crop, and if moisture is still there, cow pea after that. To the extend possible planning to have a cover always, so that bare soil is not exposed.
