Intercropping of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) with clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) is a
common practice in the arid zone of northwestern India. Field experiments were conducted for
two years to examine the performance of two contrasting genotypes of each of these crops grown
both as sole crops and as intercrops using all possible genotypic combinations of the pearl millet
with the clusterbean. The seed yields of both crops were always lower in intercropping than in
sole cropping, though the degree of reduction in the seed yield of each intercrop component was
in¯uenced greatly by the genotype of its companion crop. The seed yield of both clusterbean
genotypes was reduced more when intercropped with the tall and late-maturing pearl millet,
MH 179, than with the medium-statured and early-maturing HHB 67. On the other hand, the
two clusterbean cultivars had similar e ects on intercropped pearl millet. As a result, the highest
land equivalent ratios (LERs) were obtained with intercrops containing pearl millet HHB 67
rather than MH 179, while the genotype of clusterbean had little overall e ect on LER. The
results obtained are discussed in the context of developing cultivars for intercropping.
