This study was conducted in Amravati and Bhatkuli Tahsils of Amravati district and five villages from each tahsil which were adopting sorghum based cropping systems. The data was collected for the year 2008-2009 from 24 cultivators for each system randomly. The ratio return over the investment at cost 'A' were 2.34, 2.58, 2.47, 2.42, 2.64 and at cost 'B', the ratio were 1.64, 1.85, 1.71, 1.68, 1.83 respectively for sole sorghum, sorghum+tur, sorghum+soybean, sorghum+cotton, sorghum+green gram. In case of sorghum+tur, the ratio at cost 'C' showed higher ( i.e. 1.95) and lower in sole sorghum (i.e.1.39). Thus, the study indicated that the sorghum+tur was found to be most profitable cropping system followed by sorghum+cotton cropping system.
