Abstract
A field experiment was carried out during the rainy seasons of 1997 and 1998 to assess the production poten- tial and economics of intercropping of pearlmillet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br. emend. Stuntz] with pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] and castor (Ricinus communis L.) under varying fertility levels. The experiment was conducted in split-plot design with 3 cropping systems (pearlmillet sole, pearlmillet + pigeonpez and pearlmillet + castor) in main plots and 4 sets of fertility levels (control, 40 kg N/ha, 40 kg N + 30 kg P205/ha, 80 kg N + 60 kg P205/ha) in sub-plots, replicated 4 times. lntercropping had no effect on yield attributes of pearlmillet. Sole pearlmillet gave significantly higher grain yield than pearlmillet intercropped with pigeonpea or castor. Sole - pearlmillet recorded higher N and P uptake than intercropped pearlmillet. The maximum pearlmillet-grain equiva- lent, net returns and benefit : cost ratio were obtained with pearmillet + pigeonpea followed by pearlmillet + castor. Sole pearlmillet recorded the lowest pearlmillet-grain equivalent net returns and benefit : cost ratio. The yield and yield attributes of pearlmillet pearlmillet-grain equivalent, N and P uptake and net returns were higher with higher dose, i.e. 80 kg N + 60 kg P205/ha. However, the maximum benefit : cost ratio was obtained with 40 kg N + 30 kg P205/ha and 80 kg N + 60 kg P205/ha (3.5).
