Abstract/Description: | A field experiment involving four grasses (Cenchrus setigerus, Cenchrus ciliaris, Dicanthium annulatum and Sporobolus marginatr,rs) and two legumes (Ctitoria ternatia and Stysanthes hamata) with total 14 treatment combinations (6 sole and g grass-legume stnpintercropping) was undertaken at ICAR-central Aidzone Research lnstitute, Regional Research Station, Kukma, Bhuj, Gujarat' India in randomized complete block design with three replications, during khctrif season of 2015/2016. The observations on plant height, number of tiller or branch per plant' leaf-stem ratio, fresh herbage and dry matter yield and land equivalent ratio were recorded' Results of the experiment revealed that among grass species the Dicanthium anulatum recorded higher plant height (132 cm) and the number of tiller per plant (92.5) inthe combination of Sylosanthes hamata and Clitoria ternatia, respectively. However, Cenchrus ciliaris in association with Clitoria ternatia was found superior with respect to the leaf-stem ratio (1.23). Between two legumes, Clitoria ternatia in the combination of Dicanthium anulatumhad higher plant height (95 cm). Whereas Sylosctnthes hamata in the combination of Dicanthium anulatum recorded higher number of branch per plant (54.5) and the leaf-stem ratio (1.24), respectively. Across the strip-intercropping systems, Dicanthium anulatumbased intercropping systems yielded higher fresh herbage yield, dry matter yield and land equivalent ratio. Dicanthium anulatum + Clitoria ternatia followed by Dicanthium annulatum + sylosanthes hamata had higher fresh herbage (9389 kg ha-1) and dry matter yield (5051 kg har) and the land equivalent rario (1.4g). Results of the experiments indicated that Dicanthium annulatumbased stnp-intercropping systems were the most suitable for the arid conditions of Kachchh as they yielded higher fresh herbage, dry matter yields and land equivalent ratio, respectively. |
