dc.description.abstract | A study was conducted with 25 different vegetable crops during different seasons as intercrops in partial shade of arecanut garden (36 years old) under sub Himalayan terai region of West Bengal. Yield. input, output and benefit cost ratio were calculated for all the crops. B : C ratio of all the crops ranged between 0.37 (bitter gourd) to 3.44 (cabbage). However. all the vegetables tested were found profitable. Crops like palak. cabbage, cauliflower. raddish, carrot, turnip, chilli and capsicum can be taken as winter vegetables and basella. pumpkin. ash gourd, bottle gourd and snake gourd can be taken as summer vegetables in partial shade of arecanut garden. | en_US |
