Abstract: The field experiment entitled “Studies on Nutrient Management of Soybean + Kodo millet Intercropping System†was conducted during kharif season 2015 at Agronomy Research Farm, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. Experimental results revealed that growth characters were significantly higher in soybean with sole soybean cropping system followed by soybean + kodo millet (4:2) cropping system. Yield attributes, grain yield and straw yield were significantly higher with sole soybean system. Among the fertilizer levels, significantly higher growth attributes, yield attributes, seed straw and biological yield and yield of soybean crop were recorded under 100% RDF + 5 tons FYM fallowed by 100% RDF. In kodo millet, significantly higher growth characters were recorded with soybean + kodo millet (4:2) cropping system. Grain yield and straw and biological yield was higher in sole kodo millet cropping system. Significantly higher growth attributes, yield attributes and yield of kodo millet recorded under 100% RDF + 5 tons FYM fallowed by 100% RDF. Gross Monetary Returns, Net Monetary Returns and B: C ratio was higher with sole kodo millet cropping system and in different fertilizer levels GMR was higher with 100% RDF + 5 tons FYM and NMR and B:C ratio was higher with 100% RDF.
