Abstract
It is concluded from the study that 19% of the expenditure can be saved by raising poplar nursery and poplar plantation together instead of growing them separately. This amount was saved because some operations do not need repetition when these two activities are combined. The combination of one-year-old poplar plantation with second stage poplar nursery gave net return of Rs.13098/ha. While, poplar plantation raised without nursery proved to be uneconomical with net loss of Rs.10881/ha As far as the growth is concerned, poplar plantation raised with nursery gave more than 6 times higher volume than the pure plantation. Moreover, the land spared after intermixing poplar plantation with poplar nursery can be used for raising any other crop(s).
