Abstract

In an attempt to study benefit:cost under fruit based multiple cropping system, maximum benefit:cost ratio of 3.48:1 was observed when crops were grown under combination of Aonla + Ber + Karonda + Moth bean + Mustard. Among the perennial components, higher benefit:cost ratio (2.22:1) was found under ber. Following multiple cropping system, the flow of cash was there for almost nine months of the year under arid condition of Rajasthan.
