In an experiment conducted during 1995-96 to 1996-97 to determine idea' agronomic conditions for late-sown crops. Argentine rape 'Sheetal' showed the highest total productivity in terms of wheat-equivalent yield during both the seasons. Wheat [Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.] 'HPW 42' and argentine rape 'Sheetal' were more remunerative than other crops or varieties. Based on pooled analysis, wheat 'HPW 42' gave 18.03 and 185.64 higher net return over wheat 'HS 295' and lentil 'HPLC 8431' respectively. The increased due to argentine rape was 16.17 and 181.15 per cent respectively. The effect of seed rate was not significant. The increase in nitrogen level by 25% over recommended dose increased the productivity as well as monetary returns over the recommended nitrogen. Based on pooled analysis, increased nitrogen level (25% over recommended) gave 7.52 and 20.22% higher net return than recommended and 25% lower than recommended N levels respectively.
