    Performance of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum)-Rapeseed (Brassica campestris) intercropping system with different row ratios in Bundelkhand conditions
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-09-18) CHAUDHARY, MANTHAN; Kumar, Arun
    An investigation was carried out during rabi 2019-20 on silty clay loam soil at IFS Farm, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda to find out the effects of different row ratios on growth and yield of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum)-Rapeseed (Brassica campestris) intercropping system. In replacement series, six chickpea + rapeseed intercropping combinations (1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 2:2, 3:1, 3:2) were tried with sole chickpea and sole rapeseed in three replications. The ‘JG 14’ and ‘Pitambari’ varieties were used of crops chickpea and rapeseed, respectively. The important findings obtained from this investigation are presented here in brief: The growth and yield attributes of intercropping system were recorded significantly highest in 3:1 (chickpea + rapeseed) row ratio followed by 3:2 (chickpea + rapeseed) and 2:2 (chickpea + rapeseed). The row ratio 1:2 (chickpea + rapeseed) performed lowest among all. The 3:1 (chickpea + rapeseed) intercropping system produced significantly highest chickpea equivalent yield (28.40 q/ha), land equivalent ratio (1.32), net income (Rs 1,01,302/ha) and B: C (2.73) ratio. It is proved from these results that to get higher productivity and profit from chickpea + rapeseed intercropping, it may be grown in replacement series with row proportion of 3:1 followed by 3:2 under the Bundelkhand condition.
