Abstract: An income generating project entitle "Intercropping Sweet Potato (VSP-2 Variety) with String Beans", was conducted in DSAC Indang, Cavite from November 1991 to March 1992. The project aimed to introduce the intercropping technique of farming in order to maximize the use of small farm lands and increase the farmer’s income. A field if 1,500 square meters was utilized for this project. The land preparation includes clearing, plowing and harrowing. Furrows were established and planting of sweet potato (VSP-2 variety) and string beans were done simultaneously. All the necessary cultural management practices followed thereafter. Harvesting of sweet potato and string beans was done 100 days and 67 days after planting, respectively. The cost of return analysis of sweet potato and string beans production showed that after deducting all the opera-ting expenses of P 2,056.25 from the gross income of P 2,800.00, the project gave a net income of y 743.75. The project gives a greater yield stability over season and it can be claimed that intercropping sweet potato is a profitable cropping system as shown by the 36.17% return on investment.
