Abstract


Groundnut is an important oilseed crop of South Arcot district which is raised in nearly 4 lakhs of acres. of which 55,000 acres are irrigated and the rest rainfed. Another important crop of this district is Ragi which is grown in 75,700 acres of which 61,500 acres are irrigated. Cambodia cotton is yet another important crop, raised in about 16,000 acres. It is grown as a rainfed crop except in a small area of 1,260 acres where it is grown under irrigated conditions. To increase the income per acre and put the land to more profitable use by growing more than one of these crops simultaneously, trials were laid out at the Research Station, Palur, the results of which are incorporated in this paper.
