On-farm experimental trials were conducted on the field of 25 smallholder farmers in three villages of central mid-hill region. Results indicated that although CA systems did not increase crop yields; higher return and revenue were generated due to increased number of crop harvests and higher price of the cash crops used in intercropping. Therefore, it was concluded that smallholder farmers should adopt CA system for increasing return and improving sustainability of the farming system.pages 327-336application/pdfCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 UnportedEffect of conservation agriculture on maize-based farming system in the mid-hills of NepalConference proceedingHUMANITARIAN TECHNOLOGY: SCIENCE, SYSTEMS AND GLOBAL IMPACT 2014, (HUMTECH2014)Procedia Engineeringhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2014.07.07478
