Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2018 and 2019 at research farm, College of Agriculture RVSKVV Gwalior to see the impact of nutrients uptake and their effect on yield and economics in Pegionpea. Seven crops i.e. sesame, groundnut, soybean, greengram, blackgram, cowpea and cluster bean were sown as a sole crop as well as intercropped with pigeonpea and replicated thrice in randomized block design. The nutrients uptake (nitrogen, phoshphorus and potassium) was significantly higher in sole pigeonpea over intercropped pigeonpea. It was observed that after harvesting of crops, the level of nitrogen was increased in all pigeonpea intercropping systems as well as sole pigeonpea and recorded maximum in pigeonpea + cowpea intercropping system. Whereas, phosphorus and potassium were significantly not affected by different intercropping systems.
