This experiment was conducted to increase the utility of paddy field in southern part of Korea. Six cropping patterns were tested 4 times with a cycle of two years from 1985 to 1992. The variation of yield, gross profit and income among years were evaluated. The variation of yield among years in red pepper, garlic and chinese cabbage was higher than that of cucumber, sweet corn and potato in tested crops. The income was higher in chinese cabbage, garlic and red pepper, and the variation of income among years was lower in peanut and chinese cabbage than that of other crops. The income in cucumber-chinese cabbage-green pea-rice pattern and sesamegarlic-rice pattern was higher than the other cropping patterns, but the variance of income among years in the cropping pattern of cucumber-chinese cabbage-green pea-rice was the highest among the tested cropping patterns.
