A field experiment was conducted with ten crop sequences consecutive for four years to identify most productive, profitable and sustainable cropping system and their impact on soil health. Crop sequence consisting of maize+black gram–potato-onion was found most efficient with respect to production (33.54 t ha-1year-1 rice equivalent yield) system profitability Rs. 793.3 ha-1day-1, Net monetary return Rs. 234062 ha-1year-1 followed by Maize – Garlic – Green gram (Grain+Recycling) and Maize + Green gram – Potato – Wheat cropping sequence. While most economical crop sequence was hybrid rice–wheat which fetched 2.84 time more benefits over the investment of Rs. 1.0 followed by Maize + Black gram –Potato– Onion crop sequence with 1:2.81 benefit – cost ratio. The sequence included legumes / pulse crops in system improved the physico-chemical properties of the soil besides availability of nutrients to the crops.
