EFFECT OF PLATING PATTERN AND NITROGEN FERTILIZATION ON SORGHUM +BLACKGRAM INTERCROPPING UNDER DRYLAND CONDITIONS

Abstract

Intercropping of blackgram and sorghum with various planing patterns and nitrogen levels were tried at Agricultural Research Station, Aklera (Jhalawar) Rajasthan during Kharif, 1977, 78 and 1979. Altemate planting of sorghum and urd at 22.5 cm or paired planting of sorghum at 35 cm and one row of urd in between pairs of sorghum were found equally good and proved better than other ried systems of intercropping or sole cropping. Application of nitrogen to the sorghum crop in intercropping was as good as sole sorghum. However, nitrogen application to sorghum crop reduced the yield of intercrop.
