CONCLUSION

• Efficient utilization of scarce and costly resources is the need of the hour to make crop production a viable proposition in the present day competitive scenario.

• It provides alternate and sustainable avocation to marginal and sub-marginalfarmers. Fruit, mushroom, apiary, animal production and poultry have beenmore viable with them.

• A better planning and utilization of the available resources will usher in bright prospects for the farm economy as a whole.
