Description Field experiments were conducted to study the production potential of French bean as
grain and vegetable crop in intercropping with maize (1:1, 1:2 and 2:2 row ratios) and cotton
(1:2 and 1:3 row ratios) and in sequence cropping with six kharif crops (potato, groundnut,
French bean (grain and vegetable), soybean and mungbean) and four rabi crops (sorghum,
chickpea, sunflower and wheat) under rainfed condition during 2005-06 and 2006-07 at Main
Agricultural Research Station, Dharwad.
Results revealed that intercropping of maize with French bean in 1:2 row ratio
produced significantly higher maize equivalent yield, land equivalent ratio, gross and net
return when grown either for grain (7897 kg ha-1, 1.35, Rs. 46,468 ha-1 and Rs. 25,896 ha-1,
respectively) or for vegetable (8027 kg ha-1, 1.38, Rs. 47,135 and 26,234 ha-1, respectively)
compared to other cropping systems. The kernel yield of maize was not influenced
significantly by intercropping of French bean in different row ratios (5226 to 5459 kg ha-1) as
compared to sole maize (5459 kg ha-1). In cotton + French bean intercropping, cotton
equivalent yield, gross and net return were significantly higher in 1:3 row ratio for grain
(2485 kg ha-1, Rs. 55,843 and Rs. 29,624 ha-1, respectively) and vegetable (2506 kg ha-1, Rs.
56,122 and Rs. 29,674 ha-1, respectively) than other sole and intercropping systems. Yield of
cotton was not affected significantly by intercropping of French bean in different row ratios
as compared to sole cotton.
Among all the sequences, potato-sunflower sequence recorded significantly higher
French bean equivalent yield (6574 kg ha-1), gross return (Rs. 1,18,671 ha-1) and net return
(Rs. 84,262 ha-1) over other sequences. Among the pulse based sequences, French bean
(grain)-chickpea/ sunflower was more productive (3443 and 3393 kg ha-1 of French bean
equivalent yield, respectively) and profitable (Rs. 37,338 and 36,873 ha-1 of net return,
respectively) sequence.
The study indicated that French bean can be grown as an intercrop in maize (1:2 row
ratio) and cotton (1:3 row ratio). Among all the sequences, potato-sunflower and among the
pulse based sequences, French bean (grain)-chickpea/sunflower were more productive and
profitable.
