Traditional farming system used by farmers in India are based on centuries of experience characterized by mixed farming involving crop production with one or more enterprises like dairy, poultry, sericulture, piggery, sheep, goat, fisheries and bee-keeping. The main aims were to achieve stability of production, provide subsistence for the family and guard against weather aberrations and other environmental stresses. In recent years, farming system gave scientific touch to the existing practices and found ways and means to make it sustainable in changing global scenario. To explore the components in farming system the study was undertaken in North Eastern Transition Zone of Karnataka, to know the different economic performance of different components followed by IFS farmers. The list of farmers practicing IFS has been prepared and categorized into dryland and irrigated conditions based on discussion with field facilitators, Agriculture officers and Horticulture officers. There are around 180 farmers practicing integrated farming system were selected randomly, of which 90 farmers comes under dryland and 90 farmers under irrigated condition. The findings under dryland condition shows that, yield of jowar was 12.25 q/ha and returns per rupee of investment was 1.28, whereas yield of soyabean was 12 q/ha and returns per rupee of investment was 1.15 followed by redgram (11.25 q/ha and 1.74) and greengram (11 q/ha and 1.63). The findings under irrigation condition show that, the yield of flower crops was 82.50 q/ha and returns per rupee of investment was 2.52 followed by papaya (1655 q/ha and 2.23), banana (1450 q/ha and 2.25) and mango (542.5 q/ha and 2.13) respectively.
