Abstract

Field experiment was conducted with eight treatments viz. groundnut + pigeonpea (8: 1), greengram + pigeonpea (8: 1), foxtail millet + pigeonpea (8: 1), cowpea + pigeonpea (8: 1), groundnut + pigeonpea (14: 2) in paired row planting, greengram + pigeonpea (14: 2) in paired row planting, foxtail millet + pigeonpea (14: 2) in paired row planting and cowpea + pigeonpea (14: 2) in paired row planting during kharif 2016 in rainfed Alfisols at ARS, Ananthapuramu, Andhra Pradesh. Results indicated that higher main crop yield of groundnut (626 kg ha−1) was recorded with groundnut + pigeonpea (8: 1) followed by foxtail millet + pigeonpea (8: 1), groundnut + pigeonpea (14: 2) and foxtail millet + pigeonpea (14: 2) compared to other intercropping systems. Higher net returns ( 17105 ha−1) were recorded with groundnut + pigeonpea (8: 1) followed by groundnut + pigeonpea (14: 2), foxtail millet + pigeonpea (8: 1) and foxtail millet + pigeonpea (14: 2).
