Abstract:
Producing food in sustainable manner by utilizing natural resources in eco-friendly manner through application of agro-techniques which are very adoptable by farming community because of their less reliability as per the farmer’s needs as well as improving the soil health. The eco-friendly approach was applied under this experiment by utilizing the locally available natural resources and non-monetary input under rice-fallows to increase in the cropping intensity of the region as well as increasing the productivity and production of potato. The system economics was calculated to see their economic suitability under rice-fallows. The significantly higher beneficial outcomes were recorded during experimentation of rice-potato system economics where potato crop sown under S₁ (5^th November) sowing date and cost of cultivation under M₁ (rice straw) mulch.
