Among the crop combination, coconut + pineapple gave the highest yield (10865 nut + 8.15t)/ha, gross return (Tk. 11,015/ha) and net return (Tk. 997,125/ha) followed by coconut + mukhikachu (10,455 nut + 3.53t)/ha, gross return (Tk. 78,615/ha) and net return (Tk. 68,150/ha). Highest Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) was obtained from coconut + pineapple (1.33) combination and the lowest from coconut + brinjal (1.14).
