Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani during 2002–04 and 2003–05 with sugarcane. The gross monetary returns were higher in sugarcane + potato intercropping system. However the highest net monetary return (NMR) was recorded in sugarcane + wheat (44,128 Rs./ha). Sugarcane and wheat intercropping was thus more remunerative.
