| Summary: | Under protected condition, tomato - pea- carrot - cucumber gave the maximum production production efficiency, return (₹13 336.1/100m2), BCR (4.05) and profitability (₹36.53/100m2/day). Whereas, pea - coriander frenchbean – bitter gourd was least profitable. The production cost under polyhouse was about 5 times higher than that of open field; however return was about two times higher. Tomato, bitter gourd and cucumber were major determinants for production and profitability. Hence tomato pea- carrot - cucumber cropping sequence was adjudged the most productive and profitable, which deserves adoption by farmers of mid hills of Himalayan region.
