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. |
