Description An experiment on effect of intercropping system and fertility levels on yield and profitability offennel was conducted at NRCSS, Ajmer during rabi season of 2003-04.The experiment consisting four levelsof fertilizers (75 kg N+30 kg P2O5,90 kg N+40 kg P2O5,105 kg N+50 kg P2O5,120 kg N+50kg P2O5 per ha ) and sixlevels of intercropping system viz. fennel+ radish (1:1), fennel+ radish (1:2), fennel + radish (2:2),fennel+carrot (1:1), fennel + carrot (1:2), fennel + carrot (2:2) was conducted in factorial randomized block designwith three replications. Application of increasing levels of fertilizers significantly increased fennel yield,carrot/ radish yield, fennel equivalent yield, gross return, net return and BCR and highest yield and economicreturn was obtained with the application of 120 kg N + 50 kg P2O5 ha-10-. The fennel based intercroppingsystem in association of carrot with all ratios resulted higher yield and profitability as compared with radishat respective intercropping ratio. The highest fennel yield (17.35 q ha-1), fennel equivalent yield (26.42 q ha-1)gross return (Rs 66050/- ha-1), net return (Rs 38584/- ha-1) and BCR (1.40) was obtained in 1:1 intercroppingratio of fennel and carrot followed by with 1:2 ratio. Thus, sowing of fennel and carrot in 1:1 ratio withapplication of 120 kg N +50 kg P2O5 is best for realizing the higher system productivity and profitability.
