Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Foxtail millet plus pigeonpea at 5:1 was identified as the best climate resilient system in Kurnool black soils.
- Intervention effect The foxtail millet plus pigeonpea system increased pigeonpea seed equivalent yield by 406 kg/ha versus sole foxtail millet.
- Intervention effect The foxtail millet plus pigeonpea system increased pigeonpea seed equivalent yield by 191 kg/ha versus sole pigeonpea.
- Intervention effect The foxtail millet plus pigeonpea system had a 41% yield advantage over sole crops.
- Observation Soyabean plus pigeonpea at 4:2 was identified as climate resilient in Aurangabad.
- Observation Cotton plus greengram at 1:1 was suitable in medium and good rainfall years in Aurangabad.
- Observation Soybean plus pigeonpea at 3:1 was stable across rainfall patterns in Nandurbar.
- Intervention effect Soybean plus pigeonpea at 3:1 yielded 73% higher net income than sole pigeonpea.
- Intervention effect Intercrop seed yields were 15–20% below their respective sole crops.
- Intervention effect Total intercropping system seed yields were 30 to 60% above sole crops.
- Recommendation The authors recommend adopting intercropping in rainfed black soils for climate resilience and food security.
