Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the rainy seasons of 1990 and 1991 to study the performance of maize (Zea mays L.) + forage cereal intercropping on black clay-loam soil under rainfed condition. Maize-grain yield decreased due to intercropping. The reduction in yield was of higher magnitude with 1 :2 proportion with forage maize intercrop. Yield components followed the similar trend. Intercrop forage yields were higher with 1 :2 proportion. Net returns were higher under intercropping of maize +pearl millet [Penriretum glaucum (L.)R. Br. emend. Stuntz].
