EVALUATION OF PLANT POPULATION AND CROP GEOMETRY OF PIGEONPEA BASED SOYBEAN INTERCROPPING SYSTEM (ADDITIVE SERIES) UNDER RAINFED ECOSYSTEM
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The field experiment was conducted at Experimental farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Parbhani under Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth (VNMKV), Parbhani (M.S.) during Kharif 2014-15 to assess performance of pigeonpea + soybean intercropping system under different row proportions and planting geometry in rainfed condition. Among all the treatments, pigeonpea- soybean row proportion (1:2) with 90 cm x 30 cm recorded higher pigeonpea equivalent yield (1721.01 kg ha-1) and B : C ratio (3.67) which was comparable with row ratio 1 : 3 (120 cm x 30 cm) and row ratio 1 : 4 (150 cm x 30 cm). It means pigeonpea intra-row spacing 30 cm under row spacing of 90 cm, 120 cm and 150 cm with 1 : 2, 1 : 3 and 1 : 4 pigeonpea– soybean row proportions respectively produce higher pigeonpea equivalent yield (kg ha-1) rather than 45 cm.
