Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted during the rabi seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 at Kanpur to study the relative productivity and profitability of intercropping systems on light textured soil under rainfed condition. On the basis of 2 years data revealed that intercropping system, namely, mustard + chickpea additive sowing found superior as compared to other treatments in productivity, water use efficiency, net return and benefit: cost ratio. However, soil moisture content up to one metre depth was recorded maximum under sole lentil at almost all the plant growth stages during course of investigation. Dust mulching at 25 DAS gave higher mustard equivalent seed yield and land equivalent ratio over without dust mulch treatment. The higher water use efficiency and net return were also recorded when dust mulching practice was adopted.


Keywords: Rainfed, Moisture content, Moisture extraction pattern, Water use efficiency, Land equivalent ratio, Additive series, Replacement series
