Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Intercropping with the late maturing pigeonpea cultivar Bahar at 300 cm row spacing produced 1·26 t/ha grain without affecting palmarosa growth and yield.
- Intervention effect Intercropping improved land-use efficiency by 47% over a sole palmarosa crop.
- Intervention effect Intercropping improved relative net return by 58% over a sole palmarosa crop.
- Intervention effect Intercropping improved net economic return by Rs. 12500/ha over a sole palmarosa crop.
- Intervention effect Pigeonpea grain, stalk and total dry matter yield per plant were considerably improved at the wider row spacing in the intercropped system compared with a sole crop.
- Association Competition between pigeonpea plants was not reduced when palmarosa was present.
- Intervention effect Palmarosa tiller production and herb and oil yield were significantly reduced when the pigeonpea row distance was narrowed.
- Mechanism Competition between palmarosa and pigeonpea exists mainly for light rather than for nutrients and moisture.
- Recommendation Selecting high yielding, late maturing pigeonpea cultivars with an upright growth habit is suggested to improve the economic benefits of the system.
