e0“Intercropping under uniform row planting pattern (pigeonpea rows at 60 cm with one row of intercrop in between) was more efficient in weed suppression as well as in total productivity compared with paired row planting at 40/80 cm distance.”

- Intervention effect Cowpea intercropping suppressed weed flora by 20–45% over sole pigeonpea.
- Intervention effect Urdbean intercropping suppressed weed flora by 20–45% over sole pigeonpea.
- Intervention effect Mungbean intercropping suppressed weed flora by 20–45% over sole pigeonpea.
- Intervention effect Legume intercrops were more productive than sole pigeonpea under rainfed conditions.
- Intervention effect Uniform row planting suppressed weeds more efficiently than paired rows.
- Observation Unchecked weeds caused a 678 kg/ha yield loss in sole pigeonpea.
- Intervention effect Mungbean intercropping compensated the weed-caused yield loss.
- Recommendation The authors suggest weed control can be omitted in rainfed pigeonpea when mungbean is intercropped without economic loss.
