A field experiment was conducted at All India Coordinated Research Project on Integrated Farming, College of Agriculture Indore during the kharif season 2013-14 with the objective to find out the effect of land configuration, INM and mulch on growth and yield of different crops and cropping system and they’re after effect on economic viability of different treatment as well as find out the best treatment combination for higher yield. Experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replication and total thirty-two Treatment combination was done. The minimum tillage treatments were provided higher seed yield, Net return and B:C ratio as compare to conventional tillage. On the basis of result obtained from the experiment it concludes that optimal cropping system combination was (arhar + fodder sorghum) .as the higher net return & B:C ratio are concern better yield and higher growth may also obtained with 75 % RDF with 25 % vermi-compost and mulching. Highest productivity and profitability were found with the combination treatment T16 combination (minimum tillage + arhar and fodder sorghum intercropping system +75 % RDF with 25 % vermi-compost + mulch treatments).
