Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore for two years (1993-94 and 1994-95) to identify best mix from among poultry, pigeon, fish and mushroom components with cropping as base activity in comparision with cropping alone, Productivity of each component was recorded on their economic products and expressed as rice grain equivalent yield after conversion on the basis of unit price. Results indicated that integration of cropping with components like fish and mushroom as well as poultry and pigeon resulted in higher productivity than cropping alone under lowland integrated farming system

Keywords: Integrated farming System, component productivity, rice grain equivalent yield.
