The experiment was carried out in a randomised block design with four replications under rainfed condition. The results revealed that growth characters and yield attributing characters ware not Influenced by stylosanthes intercropping and nitrogen levels, Even though numerically the tuber end top yields were lower in intercropped plots, statistically no significance was observed due to intercropping and levels of nitrogen. The utilisation index also was not influenced by intercropping end nitrogen levelsennullThesis
