Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out at university farm, IGKV. Raipur (C.G.) during rabi season of 2020-21 to study the effect of row arrangement on growth and yield of linseed based intercropping system. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and comprises of eight different planting pattern combinations of linseed and chandrasur crops are sole linseed, sole chandrasur, linseed + chandrasur (1:1), linseed +chandrasur (2:1), linseed +chandrasur (3:1), linseed +chandrasur (2:2), linseed +chandrasur (4:2), linseed +chandrasur (5:2). Results revealed that significantly highest values for growth parameters viz. plant height, branches plant-1, dry matter accumulation, seed yield and stover yield were recorded with their pure stands of the crops. But as when compare with different intercropping system, the highest linseed equivalent yield (1513 kg ha-1) was obtained with 3:1 row ratio of linseed+ chandrasur over sole planting.
