e0“A field experiment on diversification of fingermillet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.) through blackgram (Phaseolus mungo L.) and pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) intercropping was carried out for 3 years during 2001 - 2003 at Kokriguda watershed, Koraput (Orissa)”
e1“Fingermillet + pigeonpea and fingermillet + blackgram both in 4:2 row ratio produced 77.7% and 67.4% higher fingermillet equivalent yield (FMEY) over broadcast sown fingermillet”
