Abstract

                                Field experiments were conducted for two years (1982-1983) under rainfed conditions at Regional Research Station, Paiyur to identify the suitable intercrops. Lablab, redgram maize, sorghum, soybean and greengram as intercrops in ragi each at 4:1, 6:1 and 8:1 ratio was compared with pure crop of ragi. Ragi as pure crop gave higher grain yield than in intercropping system. Intercropping systems gave higher net income than the sole crop. Raising ragi with greengram at 4:1 ratio gave the highest net income (Rs. 2374/ha) compared to pure crop of ragi (Rs. 1991/ha).
