Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi VIdyapeeth, Akola (MS) during 2018-19 in randomized block design with seven treatment and replicated thrice. The experiment resulted that plant height recorded significantly higher in treatments of cotton + greengram for grain purpose (1:1). Other growth attributes viz. number of functional leaves plant-1 (68.97), leaf area plant-1 (29.83 dm2), LAI plant-1 (3.31) and total dry matter accumulation plant-1 (52.52 g) were recorded significantly higher in sole cotton and found at par with other treatments and seed cotton yield were recorded significantly higher in sole cotton and found at par with treatments of cotton + greengram for vegetable purpose (1:1), cotton + greengram 50% vegetable and 50% grain purpose (1:1) and cotton + cowpea for vegetable purpose (1:1), cotton + cowpea 50% vegetable and 50% grain purpose (1:1).
