STUDIES ON THE INTERCROPPING OF SORGHUM (Sorghum bicolor). REDGRAM (Cajanus cajan). GREENGRAM (Vigna radiata) AND SOYBEAN (Glycine max) WITH REFERENCE TO PLANT POPULATION II MONETARY RETURNS

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.
