The present investigation was undertaken to study the comprehensive appraisal of the farming scenario of Riverine (Char) areas of lower Assam based on prevailing climatic parameters, soil properties, present cropping patterns and farmers socio-economic conditions. Three Chars of the district, viz., Faujdar Char, Simlabari and Bamunpara Part IV were selected for the study. The study used a multistage purposive cum random sampling design. The average monthly temperature in the chars ranged from 18.9 to 28.6oC, which was usually suitable for most crops like sali paddy, maize, chilli etc. The analysis of physics-chemical parameters of the soil reveals a predominance of sand and sandy loam texture. The available N, P and K contents ranged from 84.2 to 108.5, 38.6 to 42.3 and 127.9 to 152.6 kg/ha, respectively. The average yield efficiency percentages were observed highest (320.21%) in potato. The per cent pest infestation was recorded as15-25% for almost all the crops studied.
