Abstract
Summary: Results of an investigation to select intercrops showed that cotton can be grown with more profit with groundnut or gora paddy than when grown alone. Growing food or cash crops along with cotton enables an early crop to be produced and the practice may help to extend cotton cultivation in Chotanagpur and Santhal Parganas, a potential cotton belt of the future.Keywords
