Abstract/Description: | Multitier cropping systems are dynamic interactive practices aimed at better use of the production components such as soil, water, air space, solar radiation and all other inputs on sustainable basis. Highest gross return, net return, per day profitability and seed cotton equivalent yield were obtained with the multi-tier system of cotton+ radish+ cluster bean + beet root. The introduction of non competitive, short duration, multi intercrops into sole cotton, salvaged the risk perturbed by monocropping. Higher production, economic return and resource utilisation realised with multi-tier system of Bt cotton+ radish+ cluster bean+ beet root were advantageous in more than one ways. Thus, higher yield and profit could be realized with the introduction of multi-tier cropping in a unique tier-arrangement in Bt cotton hybrids under irrigated condition, the bulletin suggested. |
