Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out during the winter (rabi) of 2019-20 at Agronomy Instructional Farm, Chimanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar to study the effect of intercropping in mustard (Brassica juncea L.) nine treatment combination viz., T1: Sole mustard, T2: Sole chickpea, T3: Sole field pea, T4: Mustard + chickpea (1:2), T5: Mustard + chickpea (1:3), T6: Mustard + chickpea (1:4), T7: Mustard + field pea (1:2), T8: Mustard + field pea (1:3) and T9: Mustard + field pea (1:4) were laid out in randomized block design replicated 3 times. Among different intercropping systems, mustard + field pea (1:4) recorded maximum aggressively, crowding coefficient and competitive ratio in mustard. While, Area time efficiency ratio, production efficiency, system profitability, value: cost ratio and relative value total maximum observed in Mustard + chick pea (1:3) ratio.
