| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 1998 under rainfed conditions at Main Research Station, University of Agricultural Science? Dharwad in Northern Transitional zone of Kamataka to study the effect of intercropping of forage legumes i/iz., cowpea, field bean, and horsegram with forage sweet sorghum in four row proportions viz., 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 3:2, on green forage yield, quality, and monetary returns. Experiment consisted of 16 treatments of sole and intercropping combinations and was laidout in randomised complete block design with three replications. Significantly higher green forage yield was recorded in component crop sorghum when it was intercropped with field bean at 2:1 row proportion (52.64 t/ha) compared to sole sorghum (46.11 t/ha). Among the sole and intercropped legumes, significantly higher green forage yield was produced when horsegram was grown alone (20.56 t/ha). These yield advantages are due to better growth and 3neld attributes. Sorghum + field bean intercropping system at 2:1 row proportion recorded significantly higher mixed green forage yield (59.50 t/ha), dry matter yield (11.35 t/ha), land equivalent ratio (1.54) and yields of forage quality parameters viz., crude protein (812 kg/ha), crude fibre (3820 kg/ha), ether extract (259 kg/ha), total ash (804 kg/ha), nitrogen free extract (5665 kg/ha), total carbohydrates (9473lyha), and organic matter (10545 ly ha) with net profit of Rs. 13571/ha and B:C ratio of 1.64. The next best intercropping system was sorghum + cowpea at 2:1 row ratio compared to sole and other intercropping combinations. Palatability was higher in intercropping systems followed by sole sorghum. While it was lower in sole legume crops. | en_US |
