Abstract:
An experiment was conducted in a 38 year old coconut garden of Sakhigopal Local Tall variety planted at a spacing of 7.5 m x 7.5 m to evaluate the effect of cropping system and integrated nutrient management on yield and economics in littoral sandy soil during July 2017- June 2019. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The main plot comprised of cropping systems of CS1 {coconut + sapota + vegetable (cowpea)}, CS2 (coconut + sapota + pineapple) and CS3 (monocrop of coconut) whereas subplot consists of different nutrient management practices i.e. N1 ((Green manuring + Biofertilizers + Organic recycling + FYM), N2 (Green manuring + Biofertilizers + Organic recycling + Soil test based nutrients NPK (chemical fertilizers) application) and N3 (Green manuring + Biofertilizers + Organic recycling + 100% RDF). The study revealed that highest coconut equivalent yield (39777 nuts/ha), gross return (Rs. 318184/ha), net return (Rs. 201493/ha) and B:C ratio (2.72) were recorded in coconut + sapota + pineapple with soil test based fertilizer application (CS2N2).
