Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Soybean (Co. 2) gave the highest grain yield, 1483 kg/ha, when sown 20 days before cotton, ahead of cowpea (Co. 6).
- Association When intercrops were sown simultaneously with cotton, cowpea gave the highest grain yield, 1108 kg/ha.
- Association When intercrops were sown simultaneously with cotton, soybean gave a grain yield of 1099 kg/ha, followed by cowpea.
- Intervention effect Blackgram (Co. 5) gave lower grain yield than soybean and cowpea under both advance and simultaneous sowing.
- Intervention effect Greengram (Co. 5) gave lower grain yield than soybean and cowpea under both advance and simultaneous sowing.
- Intervention effect Cowpea, blackgram and greengram as intercrops increased the kapas yield of cotton compared with sole cotton when sown in advance.
- Association Cowpea and blackgram as simultaneous intercrops increased the seed cotton yield.
- Recommendation Cowpea was the best suited intercrop for MCU.5 cotton, based on net return and benefit-cost ratio.
