The cotton–wheat production system (CWPS) occupies an important place in the agricultural economy
of several South Asian countries. The instability of the CWPS has increased particularly during the posttransgenic
hybrids phase mainly because of these hybrids calling for intensive crop management being
cultivated under all situations, especially in resource-poor conditions leading to violent fluctuations during
adverse years and thereby affecting the socio-economic status of these developing countries. A study was
conducted to evaluate and quantify the effect of the two-tier intercropping of cotton and peanut with the
substitution of a 25–50% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) of cotton by farmyard manure (FYM) on
productivity, profitability and nitrogen economy in the CWPS at New Delhi during 2006–08. To quantify
the residual effects of previous crops and their fertility levels, a succeeding crop of wheat was grown with
varying rates of nitrogen, viz. 0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha−1.Wheat equivalent productivity was significantly
more with the inclusion of peanut in the CWPS (21–26%) with a high net return (US$288) than a pure
stand of cotton in the CWPS. The substitution of 25% RDN of cotton by FYM being on par with no
substitution recorded a higher wheat equivalent yield, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake, net
return and nitrogen use efficiencies. Nitrogen economy in wheat was 22 kg ha−1 due to inclusion of
peanut in the CWPS and 13 kg ha−1 due to substitution of the 25% RDN of cotton by FYM. The study
suggested that for the success of the CWPS in South Asian countries, escalating prices of N fertilizers with
environmental issues and the instability of transgenic hybrids can be overcome by using wider rows of
cotton by peanut intercrop with the integrated use of both organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen.
