Abstract: The field experiment was carried out in two location namely at Tamil Nadu Rice Research Institute, Aduthurai, Thanjavur and Soil and Water Management Research Institute, Thanjavur during 2016 - 2019 under irrigated conditions with an objective of alternate cropping system to get more remuneration. The treatments imposed such as pulse – rice – pulse, maize – rice – pulse and rice – rice – pulse cropping systems in both Aduthurai and Thanjavur. The results revealed that higher rice grain equivalent yield, System productivity, Land use efficiency, Production efficiency and Relative economic efficiency were higher in pulse – rice – pulse and maize – rice – pulse system in Aduthurai and Thanjavur centres respectively. Similarly, the less water requirement was observed in the same systems. Based on the results obtained it is recommended that higher profit could be achieved in pulse – rice - pulse and Maize –rice –pulse systems in Aduthurai and Thanjavur respectively with consuming lesser water requirement.
