Studies on evaluation of different proportion of levelling in zingg conservation terraces revealed increased soil moisture with an increase in the size of contributing area, indicating higher soil moisture in 1:3 and 1:4 proportion of levelled to unlevelled zingg terraces. The moisture utilization was also higher in the above treatments. Plant height, total dry matter production and its accumulation in leaf, stem and pods, yield components, viz. grain weight per plant, 1000-grain weight, number of pods per plant and harvest index were significantly higher in 1:4 and 1:3 proportion of levelled and unlevelled treatments as compared to rest of the treatments. The grain yield on levelled area and whole area basis was highest in 1:4 (772 kg/ha) and 2:1 (470 kg/ha) proportion of levelled to unlevelled zingg terraces, respectively
