Abstract
Intercropping of greengram (S-9), sorghum (CSH-6), redgram (UPAS-120) and soybean (Bragg) with two plant populations for each component crop (50 and 100% of their normal population) in a paired row system was studied at Dryland Rescatch area of Haryana Agricultural University, Hissar, during kharif 1979 and 1980. Highest gross returns were obtained from sorghum + redgram (Rs 6512.72/ha) followed by redgram greengram (Rs. 6477.56 ha) in 1979 whereas in 1980, sorghum + greengram (Rs. 5,937 14 /ha) gave highest returns followed by redgram + greengram Rs. 5,234.12/ha). Normal population of both the component crops in intercropping system gave higher returns.
