ABSTRACT
Thirteen treatments of sole crops and intercropping systems viz., T1 - pearlmillet sole, T2- cowpea sole, T3 - greengram sole, T4 - mothbean sole, T5 - sesame sole, T6 - pearlmillet + cowpea (1:1), T7 -pearlmillet + cowpea (1:2), T8 - pearlmillet + greengram (1:1), T9 - pearlmillet + greengram (1:2), T10 - pearlmillet + mothbean (1:1), T11 - pearlmillet + mothbean (1:2), T12 - pearlmillet + sesame (1:1) and T13 - pearlmillet + sesame (1:2) were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications. Pearlmillet intercropped with greengram at 1:2 and 1:1 row ratios were produced significantly higher pearlmillet equivalent yield than sole pearlmillet. The highest net return ( 53,122) was obtained when pearlmillet intercropped with greengram at 1:2. But in case of BCR, significantly higher BCR (1:2.48) was recorded in sole greengram followed by pearlmillet + greengram at 1:2 row ratio. Intercropping system of pearlmillet + greengram at 1:2 row ratio was distinctly superior over sole pearlmillet and found most profitable. Pearlmillet + greengram intercropping system at 1:2 row ratio gave significantly higher values of LER than 1:1 row ratio and sole crop.
