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 on sandy loam soil at Dryland Research ares 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. 5937/ha) gave highest returns followed by redgram + greengram (Rs. 5234.12/ha). Normal population of both the component crops in intercropping system gave higher returns.
