Abstract: The field experiment was conducted on sandy loam soil, low organic carbon, available N, available P and high in available K during the <em>Rabi </em>season of 2016-2017 at Research farm of khalsa College, Amritsar. The experiment was laid out in Randomised Block Design with 10 treatments T_1:Sole wheat, T₂: Sole lentil, T₃: Sole wheat on 67.5 cm beds, T₄ Sole lentil on 67.5 cm beds, T₅: Sole wheat on 67.5 cm beds (AFI), T₆: Sole lentil on 67.5 cm beds (AFI), T₇: wheat + lentil in 2:1 on 67.5 cm beds, T₈: wheat + lentil in 2:1 on 67.5 cm beds (AFI), T₉: wheat + lentil in 2:2 on 90 cm beds, T₁₀wheat + lentil in 2:2 on 90 cm beds (AFI) with three replications. Maximum plant height, LAI, Dry matter accumulation, Grain yield, Straw yield, N-content were recorded in 2:1 row ratio of wheat + lentil on 67.5 cm beds (T₇) which were significantly superior over sole wheat and intercropped on flat and beds (T₁, T₅, T₈ and T₁₀) and at par with sole and intercropped on beds (T₃ and T₉).
