dc.description.abstractArecanut based high density multispecies cropping system (HDMSCS) model was studied under three levels of fertilizer management i.e. full, two third and one-third dose of recommended fertilizers for productivity. The component crops included in the system were pepper (Panniyur-1) trained on arecanut palms, banana (Cheni Champa) in a triangular system (5.4 m x 2.7 m), turmeric (Kasturi) spaced 30 cm X 30 cm and pineapple (Queen) in two rows spaced 60 cm x 30 cm in between two palms of arecanut. Nine years of mean economic yield revealed that full dose of recommended fertilizer application resulted in higher production with arecanut chali yield of 2405 kg/ha, dry pepper yield of 1252 kg/ha, pineapple fruit yield of 987 kg/ha and 2127 kg of turmeric/ha. However.in banana, yield did not vary much between full and two-third dose of fertilizers (6331 to 6313 kg/ha). Under one-third dose of fertilizers all the crops recorded lowest yields with arecanut chali yield of 1975 kg/ha, 884 kg/ha pepper, 5165 kg banana bunches/ha, 543 kg pineapple fruits/ha and 1801 kg turmeric/ha. The net discounted returns under graded levels of fertilizers for the mean of nine years data revealed that application of full dose of fertilizers resulted in, higher net returns of Rs 38232/ha/year followed by two-third dose of fertilizers (Rs. 36532/ha). The Benifit Cost Ratio (BCR) realized under full, two-third and one-third dose of fertilizers was 3.28, 3.43 and 3.31 respectively. The estimated Net Present Worth (NPW) was Rs 343977, Rs 329370 and Rs 279412 under full, two-third and one-third level of recommended fertilizers of crops was economically more viable for the system as a whole.en_US
