Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during rabi seasons of 2017-18 and 2018-19 at Soil Conservation and Water Management Farm of CS Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur to find out suitable row ratio of barley + lentil/chickpea in intercropping systems under rainfed condition. The results revealed that plant height, branches flowering and maturity stages barley performed better in intercropping than sole cropping. Among different cropping systems, Barley + Chickpea (2:1) in case of integrated nutrient management 75% RDN + 25% N through FYM + culture + PSB exhibited maximum root development during the two years of experimentation.
