Abstract
A field trial was conducted at Central Plantation Crops Research institute, Research Centre, Kahikuchi (Assam) to evaluate the performance of different vegetables and flowering crops in pre-bearing arecanut garden. Two year (2003-05) results indicated that, vegetable crops like radish, cabbage, cauliflower and brinjal performed well and resulted in higher net return and B:C ratlo (4.0 to 5.0) and higher return per rupee invested during winter season. Among flowering crops, marigold and chrysanthemum performed well and resulted in higher B:C ratio (2.05 to 2.43) compared to gladiolus.
