Abstract

Integration of various agriculturally related multi-enterprises in farming ensures efficient use of farm resources with increased unit production and provides sustained income. The present study was carried out at research farm of ICAR-National Research Centre on Litchi, Muzaffarpur for sustained productivity, profitability  through rain water harvesting along with growing of seasonal crops like maize, mustard, faba bean and vegetables (cow pea, cabbage cauliflower, knol-khol, broccoli, pea) as intercrops. The cropping system on pond bunds includes three tier model of litchi cum banana/papaya and seasonal crop based system. On the basis of overall economic analysis of different models, the highest average net return was obtained with model I- banana + cowpea- cabbage/model III- banana + cowpea-Faba bean/maize during both the years (2015 &  2016) & pooled (Rs. 10.51, 10.11 & 10.31/6.55, 9.44 & 7.99 m2, respectively) and model II-papaya + maize/ cow pea- Faba bean/cabbage (Rs. 5.97, 9.49 & 7.73m2, respectively). However, highest B:C ratio was obtained with Model –I (2.41) followed by model-II (2.33) and model III (2.16).The highest cob yield was recorded in maize (170.0 q/ha) grown in deep furrows system between two ridges. However, faba bean yield varied from 13.5-15 q/ha and mustard yield from 16-18 q/ha.
