Rice-wheat cropping system is dominating cropping pattern in North Western Gangetic Plains. The effect of Laser Land Levelling on-farm input water use efficiency and crop production was studied. The major constraint in the adoption of this technology is a huge capital investment in laser leveller, so collective effort or custom hiring can help.Also, it has been suggested to raise the knowledge level of the farmers along with more exposure to the extension agencies to enhance the adoption of this technology. Further evaluation of this technology is strongly recommended under differentAgro-climatic zone for their large-scale adoption in the whole Indo Gangetic plans in India.
