Abstract
Field trials were conducted in Karnataka, India, in 1995, 1996, 2003 and 2004 to evaluate the effect of six intercrops in different groundnut-based intercropping systems on the disease severity of peanut bud necrosis disease (PBND; caused by Groundnut bud necrosis virus) of groundnut (cv. JL-24). Intercropping of groundnut with bajra, sorghum, pigeon pea and maize in the ratio of 3:1 significantly reduced the incidence of PBND. The PBND incidence was reduced by 60.3 to 69.1% due to these intercrops. As a result of successful control of disease, an increase in pod yield of 7.36 to 15.48% was achieved in various treatments. Among the effective intercrops, bajra was found superior followed by sorghum, pigeon pea and maize. Castor and sunflower were not effective in reducing the incidence of disease and increasing the pod yield of groundnut
