Abstract

To assess the best intercrop of pulses in sorghum and also to work out the eco nomics and LER, experiments were conducted at Cotton and Millets Experiment Station, Kovilpatti from 1979 to 1982 As intercrop, lab-lab and redgram were found to reduce the grain yield of sorghum at this tract while blackgram, greengram and cowpea were found to have no depressing affect on the yield. Maximum LER, was recorded by the treatment, sorghum + cowpea followed by sorghum + blackgram with highest not return per hectare.
