Author(s): Binod Kumar and Dr. Pankaj Kumar Ray
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif season of 2019 at Agronomy Instructional Farm, Mandan Bharti Agriculture College, Saharsa, Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur, Bihar, to study the performance of different legumes grown as intercrop with finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) in different row proportions. Seven different intercropping systems along with sole cropping were tested in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Experimental results revealed that almost all the growth characters of finger millet were significantly higher in sole crop in compared to different intercropping systems. Grain and straw yield of finger millet were significantly high (2010 kg/ha) when finger millet was intercropped with black gram at 6:2 pair row ratio among all intercropping system. However, finger millet equivalent yield was significantly high (2258 kg/ha) when finger millet was intercropped with black gram at 4:2 pair row ratio among all intercropping system.
