A small change in the land configuration from the extensive flat land cultivation system using light machinery improves the field drainability. This is supplementary to the conventional drainage measures to facilitate better and quicker removal of surface water congestion. The land configuration systems adopted were skip row with furrow. Study revealed that raised bed cultivation by DWR planter appears compatible land configuration for in-field provision of surface drainage giving significantly highest yield of soybean (JS-335) as 1524.9 kg/ha over control with 789.2 kg/ha.
