Abstract
The results revealed that overall, per
farm income from IFS-IV: C+ P (?2105894) was found to be the highest, followed by IFS-II: C+
D (?846928),
IFS-I: C+ D+ A (?822802) and IFS-III C+ A (?356851)
respectively as compared to the income from crops alone (?396330). The
employment generated per farm per annum in the integrated farming systems was
also maximum. Factors such as age, land holding, family size, income and credit
influenced the adoption of IFS significantly. Lack of marketing for products
from different enterprises, heavy initial investment, costly labour (wages),
non-availability of improved animal breeds, electricity supply problem for
irrigation and farm purposes, water logging at low land areas of the farm, crops
attacked by wild animals were the major constraints revealed by IFS adopters which
need to be addressed to promote IFS.
