Abstract

The results of the experiments conducted during North-East monsoon seasons of 1985 1987 revealed that sole sorghum was superior to intercropped sorghum in respect of grain and straw yield. The grain yield recovery of sorghum was high (83.2%) in sorghum+pigeonpea (2:1) system followed by sorghum + greengram in 4:2 ratio. Sunflower as intercrop reduced the grain yield recovery at both the planting pattern. Sorghum (CSH 9) intercropped with sunflower (Co. 1) registered maximum return of Rs.5,156 ha-1 with benefit cost ratio of 2.231.
