Field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years in fixed plots during 2018-19 and 2019-20 at the research farm of ICAR-Central Tobacco Research Institute research station, Jeelugumilli, West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, India under semi arid tropical climate under irrigated upland ecosystem. The experiment consisted of six treatments in bulk plots viz. I. Farmers practice 2. Interventions for enhancing productivity and quality 3. Cost reduction measures 4. Enhancing system productivity through crop intensification 5. Best bet technology (BBT) 6. BBT + value addition to system resources, system produce and by-products. Among all the treatments, mean FCV Tobacco green leaf yield (16196 kg/ha), cured leaf yield (2734 kg/ha), grade index (2094), green leaf / cured leaf (8.93) and grade index /cured leaf (76.6%) are higher in best bet technology followed by enhancing the system productivity through crop intensification. The best bet technology in tobacco crop including crop intensification along with value addition to system resources, system produce and by-products has high potential to enhance farmer’s income and resulted in higher net returns of ¹ 2,29,014/- and B:C ratio of 1.65 than growing tobacco as sole crop.
