Abstract

It is evident that the intercropping of winter vegetables viz., potato, cauliflower, knoll-khol, cabbage, turnip, carrot and radish with
autumn planted cane produced, and respectively more net returns and showed effective utilization of resources as compared to sole crop of cane and is, therefore, worth adopting by sugarcane growers specially small and marginal ones where the farming is generally done by their own family members.
