SOIL FERTILITY AND CROP YIELD UNDER SORGHUM PULSES INTERCROPPING SYSTEM

Abstract

                                The influence of sorghum pulses intercropping system on the soil fertility status was investigated at the Cotton and Millet Experiment Station, Kovilpatti during Rabi 1982-83 under rainfed conditions. The results revealed that the soil fertility in terms of available N was significantly improved in the sole crop of pulses and intercrop of pulses with sorghum, as compated to solo crop of sorghum. The yield as well as the N uptake by sorghum grains were maximum under sorghum block gram inter cropping system.
