Abstract

The Mid-central table land zone of Odisha state covers the district Angul, Dhenkanal, part of Cuttack and Jajpur. Rice is the major crop in the district but maximum net return gained in cultivation of vegetables like brinjal. Rice-vegetables and rice-groundnut is the predominant cropping systems in the district and rice-brinjal cropping system provides maximum gross return with net return owing to higher system productivity over other cropping systems. Maximum profit has gained from crop-horticulture-poultry farming system which are viable system in productivity and economical point of view. Thus, the existing rice based cropping system can effectively be diversified with the inclusion of vegetables like brinjal in cropping sequences and crop- horticulture-poultry farming system which are viable system for sustain production and higher profit.
