Abstract/Description: | A study was conducted with ten perennials and three annual crops for their feasibility as inter crops under areca based HDMSCS in Sub Himalayan Terai region of West Bengal. The performance of different intercrops was tested under irrigated and unirrigated conditions. Yield of all the crops grown under irrigated condition was higher than unirrigated condition. Among the perennials tested, black pepper, cocoa, coffee, banana (cv. Malbhog and Champa), acid lime (cv. Gandharaj) were suitable and most profitable intercrops, which were to be considered to grow under areca based HDMSCS. Out of the three annual crops, turmeric performed better than the others. The performance of various intercrops under irrigated system were in the order of black pepper> cocoa> acid lime, cv. Gandharaj >banana cv. Malbhog,>banana cv Champa> coffee>turmeric> pineapple> banana cv Cavendish>betel vine> banana cv Kanchakala>elephant foot yam> arrowroot. Best performing and economically viable crops suggested for marginal farmers are black pepper, banana (cv Malbhog and Champa) and acid lime cv. Gandharaj. |
