Abstract

                                Field experiments were conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore for two years during kharif seasons of 1997-98 and 1998-99 to evolve suitable system of sowing pigeonpea and greengram in intercropping system and to fix optimum dose of fertilizer to pigeonpea + greengram intercropping system. Growing of pigeonpea applied with full recommended dose of fertilizer in paired rows with greengram applied with either 1/3rd (5:10 kg NP/ha) or 1/6th (2.5:5 kg NP/ha) of recommended fertilizer was found to be the best intercropping system.
