Abstract: A field experiment entitled “Production potential and economic feasibility of groundnut + sesame intercropping in different row proportion†was conducted at Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during Summer season of 2016-17. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with seven treatments replicated four times. The treatments constituted of Sole groundnut, Sole sesame, 1:1 Groundnut+ sesame, 2:1 Groundnut+ sesame, 3:3 Groundnut+ sesame, 4:2 Groundnut+ sesame, Groundnut at 30 cm row spacing in between them one line of sesame. The net plot size was 3.9 m x 3.8 m. Sowing of Groundnut and Sesame was undertaken during 13rd Feb., 2017. The highest LER (1.64) was recorded under Groundnut at 30 cm row spacing in between them one line of sesame. The maximum % RYL was 59.45 was observed in treatment Groundnut at 30 cm row spacing in between them one line of sesame indicated that the highest performance of sesame was recorded in the treatment Groundnut at 30 cm row spacing in between them one line of sesame. 4:2 Groundnut + sesame registered higher groundnut equivalent yield 15.27. Aggressivity index was maximum in groundnut + sesame in 3:3 ratio (0.212) in case of groundnut over all the treatment combinations. Groundnut crop recorded the least RCC in 3:3 groundnut + sesame (1.75) where it gave less yield than expected. The maximum competitive ratio of groundnut (1.63) was recorded with groundnut +sesame in 3:3 row ratio.
