dc.description.abstractArecanut is a small holders crop in India cultivated in 0.27 million ha with an anr production of 0.33 million tons of nuts and the average productivity is 1243 kg/ha. Arecai being a perennial crop, has a gestation period of 4-6 years and a long economic life spa about 45 years. Hence the flow of costs and returns spread over a number of years \\ varying degree of magnitude. Under this situation, in order to minimize the degrei production and price risks and stabilize the gross farm income, arecanut A field sur conducted among 400 arecanut growers in North Kerala during 1997-98 indicated tha addition to dairy enterprise, arecanut farmers undertake various combinations of ban. pepper and coconut as inter/mixed crops. In the case of nutrient management in these gardi the farmers adopt appropriate integration of organic and inorganic manure for the main c and the level of fertilizer application increases with the size of holdings. About 50 to 75c the total organic manure requirement is recycled through the byproducts of the main cro well as the intercrops. The application of chemical fertilizers is mostly restricted to arecs and coconut. However the intercrops are given sub optimal dose of organic manures c The share of manures and fertilizers accounted for 15 to 37 % of the Total Variable Cos different arecanut based farming system models. Farmers are advised to adopt vari cropping/farming system models.en_US
