Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Dapoli Dist. Ratnagiri to study the performance of sesame (Sesamum indicum) + Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) intercropping system under different levels of sulphur in Lateritic soils of konkan. The results indicated that the treatment T5 (sesame + groundnut in 3:1) and the treatment T7 (i.e. sesame + groundnut in 1:3 ratio) ratio recorded significantly higher grain and dry pod yield of sesame and groundnut respectively, which was at par with the treatment T6 (i.e. sesame + groundnut in 1:2 ratio), whereas the LER, crop equivalent yield and B: C ratio were significantly higher observed in the treatment T6 (i.e. sesame + groundnut in 1:2 ratio).
