A study on economics and cropping pattern of organic farming systems has been made in Karnataka state of India. The primary and secondary data were collected to meet out the objectives of the study. The data was analysed by using simple tabular analysis method. The results reveals that, major crops grown in kharif season include maize and groundnut in Farming System-III, which contributed to 43.55 and 25.81 per cent of total cropped area, where as in Farming System-II, sesamum (53.39%) was the main crop. During rabi season, maize (0.56 ha) occupied highest share in farming system III. It was observed that wheat was the major rabi crop in Bagalkot district farming systems I and V as compared to other Farming System. Conversely, Groundnut was the only summer crop grown in Farming System III, which occupied 12.58 per cent of gross cropped area in farming systems III. Among the non-crop enterprises, dairy was the major allied enterprise in all the five farming systems with an average animal strength of 4, 3 and 2 were found in Farming Systems III, II and I respectively. However, Overall net returns realized by the farmers in the study area was found to be maximum in Farming System-III in Bagalkot district (` 40,760.05) with B:C ratio of 1:45 when compared to other farming systems identified in the study area. Hence, study suggests that, farming systems educational activities are needed for improving the dairy on commercial lines along with crop production by transfer of technology and extension activities.
