Item Arecanut (Areca catechu L.) based high density multispecies cropping system in West Bengal(2007-02-08) Reddy, V.M.; Baranwal, V.K.; Singh, R.K.A study on the high density multispqcies cropping models was taken up in an arecanut garden at Mohitnagar Research Centre during 1983. Nine different crops including annuals, biennials and perennials were tested for their suitability to grow in arecanut gardens, both under irrigated and rainfed conditions. Results of seven years study showed that all the crops can be grown satisfactorily in the interspaces of arecanut. Black pepper was found to be one of the most productive crops, while pineapple and turmeric were least productive. Arecanut, banana, black pepper and cocoa or acid lime can be a most profitable combination for the region. Due to high water table existing in the Research Centre all the crops including arecanut were found to perform well under rainfed condition except shallow rooted crops like betelvine and black pepper.Item ..........arecanut.....(entral Plantation Crops Research Institute West Bengal, 1981-01) Singh, R.K.Item Intercropping in Areca Gardens in North Bengal(2007-02) Singh, R.K.; Kumar, N.Y.; Roy Burman, K.N.; Roy, A.C.Item Organic Cultivation of Coconut in India : Concepts, Present Scenario, Constraints and Recommendations(2002-08) Nampoothiri, K.U.K.; Singh, R.K.; Biddappa, C.C.; George V.

The study revealed that arecanut cultivation was profitable in the region and there was no need to replant any of the gardens from the samples. Among the three size groups of arecanut gardens, the large size-group i.e., with an area of 0.69 ha under arecanut was the most profitable size of arecanut garden in the region.Item A Study of Marketing of Arecanut in Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal(1985) Singh, R.K.; Bhalerao, M.M.The study indicated that marketed surplus in arecanut accounted for about 96 per cent of the total production. It exhibited negative relation with the size of farm-Further, the arecanut producers received only 61 per cent of the price paid by the consumers while the price spread was 39 per cent of the consumers price. Items included in the price spread were commission, octroi, market fee, weighing and handling charges, storage charges, processing charges, transport charges, village traders' margin, wholesaler's margin and retailer's margin.
