A field experiment was conducted At All India Coordinated Research Project on Integrated Farming System, College of Agriculture, Indore during the kharif 2013-14 find out the effects of diversification and intensification on growth and yield of different soybean based intercropping system and their effect on economic viability as well as analyzing all treatment combination economically and find out the superior treatment combination for higher yield and profitability. Experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replication and total thirty two treatment combinations was done.. On the basis of result obtained from the experiment it is concluded that the soybean based intercropping + (Arhar + fodder sorghum) cropping system found to be most productive with minimum tillage,75% RDF and Mulching for achieving the Highest productivity and profitability (gross return, net return and B:C ratio ) from per unit area. This study contributed to the understanding of how cropping system affect field productivity which given a basic for local farmer to select the suitable field management strategies.
