8. ASSESSMENT OF YIELD ADVANTAGES OF PIGEONPEA BASED CROPPING SYSTEM by RAJESHNALLAIAH AND B. J. PANDIAN
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at at International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru, Telangana (India) during kharif 2014 and2015 to improved crop productivity through pigeonpea based cropping. The experiment was laid out in split split plot Design with 3 replications. Adjacent to the treatment plots, sole soybean was also raised in dummy plots with same management practices to calculate the yield advantages. The treatments comprised of method planting, cropping system and various genotypes (TS3R, Hybridr and Maruthi) showed positive effect on various agronomic traits. The transplanted hybrid pigeonpea with intercropped soybean recorded significantly higher LER (1.73 & 1.5) and ATER (1.4 &1.5) was recorded both years.
KEY WORD: Transplanting pigeonpea, Intercropping, Genotypes, LER, ATER.
