PRODUCTIVITY AND RETURNS FROM CROPPING SYSTEMS WITH SUGARCANE

Abstract

A field experiment was designed to make the autumn planted sugarcane more remunerative by adopting intercropping and to get better economic returns. Autumn planted sugarcane intercropped with mustard and potato significantly increased the sugarcane equivalent yield as well as net monetary returns over pure autumn' sugarcane. The average highest net monetary returns of Rs.44,600/ha was obtained with autumn planted sugarcane intercropped with mustard following autumn sugarcane intercropped with potato (Rs.43315/ha), which was higher by Rs.4090/ha and Rs.2803/ha respectively over pure autumn sugarcane.
