The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy field of HSTU, Dinajpur in Boro rice season during January 2013 to June 2013 to observe the performance of different species of trellis-grown vegetables on the ails of growing rice field with regard to both productivity and profitability. Two factors (crop combination and intensity of vegetables) experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The results revealed that grain yield was the highest (7.24 t ha-1) in rice + cucumber (C5) and the lowest grain yield (6.07 t ha-1) was found in rice + white gourd (C2). One time vegetables production (I1) produced the highest grain yield (6.93 t ha-1) and the lowest grain yield (6.39 t ha-1) was received from two times vegetables production (I2). In terms of vegetables production, the maximum vegetables yield (32.00 t ha-1) was obtained from rice + bottle gourd (C1) and the minimum value (1.28 t ha-1) was received from rice + yard long bean (C3) crop combination and as cucumber (C5) was severely dam-aged by rainfall its yield was not much remarkable. The highest rice equivalent yield (38.75 t ha-1) was found from rice + bottle gourd (C1) crop combination and the lowest value (8.89 t ha-1) was found from rice + yard long bean (C3) crop combination. Among the treatment combination the highest vegetables yield (33.5 t ha-1) and rice equivalent yield (41.18 t ha-1) was recorded from C1I1 (rice + bottle gourd with one time vegetables cultivation) treatment combination. The lowest value of vegetables yield (0.925 t ha-1) and rice equivalent yield (8.33 t ha-1) was recorded from C3I2 treatment combinations. The highest benefit-cost ratio (3.94) was recorded from C1I1 treatment combination (rice + bottle gourd with two times vegetables cultivation) and the lowest benefit-cost ratio (1.03) was observed in C5I1 treatment combination (rice + cucumber with one time vegetables cultivation).Download
