With the meagre possibility of bringing additional area under plough, it is imperative to produce more for the ever increasing population in the years to come. The study integrated crops with fish, poultry farming and the mushroom production in the lowlands of Tamil Nadu has clearly indicated the best advantage over conventional system of cropping. By way of recycling the waste/uneconomic products of one component over the other, the cost of production of the economic yield of other component is very much reduced thus leading to increased net income of farm as a whole. The study conducted for five years (1987 to 1992) indicated, an additional income of Rs. 15330, Rs.11574, Rs.15505, Rs.20530 and Rs.19463 ha-1 year during first, second, third, fourth and fifth ear respectively over conventional cropping system.
