Abstract:
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of intercropping and nitrogen levels on the yield of pearlmillet and legumes. The earheads plant-1 was equal in all the treatments. The grains earhead-1 was maximum in the sole crop of pearlmillet compared to the intercropped plots and also it was maximum with 80 kg ha-1 of nitrogen applied (3304 and 3449). The grain yield, straw yield and biological yield was also maximum in the pure crop of pearlmillet with nitrogen at 80 kg ha-1. Harvest index showed no significant difference between the treatments. Among the legumes greengram was observed to be a better combination compared to pearlmillet from our study. The grain yield, straw yield and biological yield was maximum in the pure crop of greengram with nitrogen applied at 20 kg ha-1. The yields were higher in the pure crop compared to intercrop and it was lowest in the intercropped treatment with 0 kg ha-1 of nitrogen applied.
