Border method of sowing wheat in North-South direction produced higher net return of Rs. 5629 compared to regular method of sowing wheat in North-South direction (Rs.4731) and East-West direction (Rs.4026). Wheat+ Mustard (9:1) intercroping with North-South direction sowing produced highest wheat equivalent yield and minimum profit was obtained with wheat+oat (1:1) intercropping system.
