Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study the performance of sesame (Sesamum indicum) + groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) intercropping system under different levels of sulphur on the yield of component crops. The experiment was laid out in split plot design during Kharif season of 2005–06. The results indicated that the treatment sesame + groundnut in 3:1 ratio recorded significantly higher yield, that was at par with sesame + groundnut in 1:2 ratio and sesame + groundnut in 1:3 ratio, whereas, the application of sulphur did not influence the yield attributes of both the crops however, application of 30 kg S/ha registered higher grain yields of sesame, which was at par with 60 kg S/ha and significantly superior over the control.
