Five crops sorghum, sunflower, lady's finger, onion and cluster beans were tried both as intercrops and border crops in finger millet with three levels of N (70, 90 and 110 kg/ha). N, P and K uptake. by finger millet was affected markedly by the intercrops then the border crops. Sunflower as an intercrop competed for nutrient with finger millet to a greater extent followed by sorghum and the influence of onion and clusterbeans was minimum. Finger millet-sorghum combi- nation removed maximum N and sunflower association depleted more of P and K. Increased N application was found to increase the uptake of nutrients.
