Description A field experiment entitled “Evaluation of coriander, fenugreek and fennel as intercrop with
chickpea”was conducted during rabi 2010-11 at Pulse Research Area of CCS Haryana Agricultural
University, Hisar. The experiment comprised of 13 treatments and was laid out in RBD with three
replications.
Based on the research investigation it was found that the different intercropping systems influenced
the growth parameters (Plant height, dry matter, CGR, RGR, LAI) of both main and intercrop. Plant height
of chickpea, coriander, fenugreek and fennel was not significantly influenced at initial stage i.e. 30 DAS by
different treatments, but significant differences was recorded beyond that. Among different intercropping
system, chickpea planted in 3:1 row ratio irrespective of intercrop resulted in higher plant height. All the
intercrops produced higher plant height in intercropping systems as compared to their respective sole crop.
Dry matter accumulation per plant of chickpea was higher in sole crop as compared to different
intercropping systems. Dry matter accumulation in intercrop was also varied due to different row
proportions. Crop growth rate of chickpea was recorded higher in sole crop where as LAI of sole chickpea
was recorded lower. The grain yield of chickpea differed significantly due to intercropping of coriander,
fenugreek and fennel. Significantly higher grain yield (1503 kg/ha) was recorded with sole chickpea as
compared to intercropping system. Among intercropping situations, relatively higher grain yield of chickpea
(1297 kg/ha) was recorded with fennel in 3:1 row ratio over other treatments. Sole coriander, sole fenugreek
and sole fennel recorded significantly higher grain yield (729 kg/ha, 1165 kg/ha and 481 kg/ha respectively)
than their respective intercropping systems. The higher grain yield of chickpea in the aforesaid treatments
was attributed to higher total dry matter production, leaf area index, number of pods and seed weight per
plant. While in coriander, fenugreek and fennel it was attributed to variation in population followed by
improvement in growth and yield parameters. Sole fennel resulted higher net return among the all cropping
system. Chickpea + fennel at 4:2 row ratio recorded significantly a higher net return (Rs. 32,656 ha-1)
compared to rest of the intercropping systems and was found at par with 2:1 row ratio of chickpea + fennel
intercropping system. Among the different intercropping systems, row ratio of 4:2 in chickpea + fennel
intercropping system was more compatible in terms of CEY, LER, MAI and B:C ratio as compared to 2:1
or 4:2 row ratio.
