Intercropping of soybean in redgram under rainfed condition

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted for rainy season of 2016 at farm of college of agriculture Dhule to study the effect of intercropping of soybean in redgram under rainfed condition and advantages of soybean and red gram under rainfed condition. The mean seed yield of soybean was 18.50 q ha-1. Numerically higher seed yield 25.45 q ha-1 was recorded by the sole soybean (T6) treatment. Followed by intercropping treatment of redgram (Vipula) + soybean. Whereas minimum Seed yield was 15.49 q ha-1 registered by redgram (BDN-708) + soybean intercropping treatment. The mean straw yield of soybean was 32.42 q ha-1 numerically higher straw yield of soybean 50.90 q ha-1 was recorded by sole soybean (T6) treatment. Followed by intercropping treatment redgram (Vipula) + soybean (T7) treatment. The numerically lowest yield of soybean straw 24.79 q ha-1 is registered by intercropping treatment of redgram (BDN-708) + soybean (T11) treatment.
