Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at Saidapur farm, Main Agricultural Research Station, Dharwad during kharif 2003 on alfisols to study the effect of intercropping of little millet and pigeonpea in different row proportions on growth and yield. Among the intercropping treatments little millet and pigeonpea intercroped in 6:2 row ratio or 6:2 row ratio little millet+pigeonpea-horsegram sequence produced significantly higher dry matter production, ear length, grain weight, grain yield of little millet and pigeonpea. As regards sole and intercropping systems, yield of little millet and pigeonpea was highest in sole cropping. Higher little millet equivalent yield (LMEY) was recorded in intercropping of little millet and pigeonpea in 6:2 row ratio with or without horsegram sequence, as compared to rest of the treatments.
