*Comparative economics of Ginger based agroforestry models.*

compatible cultivation of ginger as intercrop in any agroforestry model, multistrata system can also be a highly remunerative approach (**Table 4**) to overcome a number of problems like to poverty by improving the socio-economic status and reducing the side effect of global warming. Research revealed ginger based cropping models result in higher net income and benefit cost ratio [29] with lower cost of production (**Table 5**).
