Abstract


The field experiment carried out at Chettalli northern part of Kodagu district, Karnataka revealed that, the mixed cropping of arabica coffee with cardamom able to generate gainful employment 1.90 times higher than the mono crop of arabica coffee. In both the crops the utilisation of women labourers was maximum. A significant correlation between yield levels and labour requirement was observed in arabica coffee. In cardamom, the variation in labour requirement in tune with the yield levels was observed as indicated by their coefficient of variation. Thus, mixed cropping of arabica coffee with cardamon found superior both with respect to generation of gainful employment and income in the high ranges of western ghats.
