Land modification based integrated farming system model have been quite successful in reclaiming waterlogged sodic soil. Fish pond or raised and sunken bed based integrated farming systems has potential to combat waterlogging and sodicity problems by keeping water level below critical depths. One of the well managed Fish Pond Bed Integrated Farming System (FPBIFS) model gave an average productivity of rice as 5.0 Mg ha-1 against water productivity of 46.25 Rs m-3. Wheat yield and water productivity were obtained as 6.1 Mg ha-1 and 66.30 Rs m-3, respectively. Water productivity of coriander, radish and spinach under mixed cropping were 288.76, 244.88 and 93.54 Rs m-3, respectively. The water productivity of average yields of sponge gourd, bottle gourd, pea, carrot, tomato, onion, pumpkin, cow pea and brinjal were observed as 175.78, 96.21, 293.26, 122.83, 198.80, 143.33, 116.21, 148.50 and 208.56 Rs m-3, respectively. The average fish productivity and water productivity were obtained as 3.0 Mg ha-1, and 108.30 Rs m-3, respectively. Equivalent drainage capacity of FPBIFS Models ranged from 1.58 - 2.14 mm day-1 with rice-wheat, rice-wheat-moong and vegetable-vegetable farming over the elevated field beds, respectively in waterlogged sodic area.
