Abstract

The enhancement of higher yield in pigeonpea productivity due to increasing demand in Indian situation should be supported by the maintenance of optimum plant population under irrigated situation paving a way through intercrop for utilizing the resources effectively. This experiment was conducted to study about the effect of different planting geometry and intercrop on pigeonpea. The study was laid out in randomized block design with twelve treatment combinations in three replications. The results of the study revealed that higher plant height, total branches, stem girth was higher in planting geometry (120 x 30 cm) of pigeonpea with greengram in 1:3 row ratio over other treatments. In greengram, the growth parameters were higher in wider planting geometry (180 x 60 cm) of pigeonpea under 1:5 row proportion.
