Abstract


Experiments conducted at Cotton and Millets Experiment Station, Kovilpatti in black soil under reinfed condition for three years (1979 to 1983) to select suitabio intercrop to bajra and also to study the effect of intercrop on the grain yield of bajra, under two different crop geometry arrangement indicated that paired row" arrangement is superior to normal row arrangement for bajra to accomodate intercrops. There was reduction in grain yield of bajra when it was intercropped with pulses and reduction was maximum when lab-lab was the intercrop. Considering the competitive nature of lab-lab, either clusterbean or cowpea can be recommended as intercrop to bajra under paired, row arrangement.
