Abstract
A total of 40 experiments were conducted on farmers' fields at three villages of Bagasara taluka of Amreli district during 2019-20 under the Farmer FIRST Programme "Integrated Resource Management in Agriculture and Allied Fields for Stakeholders". The technological intervention consisting of cotton + sweet corn intercropping + enriched compost was compared with farmers' practice i.e. sole cotton without organic manure. The results revealed that cotton + sweet corn intercropping + enriched compost significantly increased seed cotton equivalent yield to the tune of 50.14% over the farmer's. The technology intervention registered gross income of `90588/ha, additional cost of `16125/ha, additional net return of `13775/ha with B:C of 1.54. The technology considerably reduced EC and pH of soil as well as significantly increased organic carbon and availability of nutrients in soil as compared to initial status. Farmers' feedbacks revealed that the technology is feasible and adoptable to increase yield and income, maintain soil fertility, resilience against vagaries of monsoon and market volatility, efficient use of resources and fodder production for cattle.
