Abstract

Effect of intercropping of groundnut with maize in saline area under rainfed condition was studied. The highest groundnut seed yield and maize grain yield were obtained from their respective sole crop. The highest groundnut equivalent yield of maize (2485 kg ha‾1) obtained from T4. The highest land equivalent ratio (1.37) and groundnut yield was reduced from 18.4 to 41.46% depending on treatment. Grain yield of maize reduced from 26.67 to 54.28% depending on treatment. The highest marginal rate of return (779.15%) was obtained from T5= groundnut (30×15 cm2) + maize (200×25 cm2)
