Abstract
An experiment was conducted to find out suitable intercrop with chickpea under rainfed condition for maximizing the productivity of intercropping system at Agricultural Research Station, Borwat Farm, Banswara during Rabi 2008-09 and 2009-10. Significantly higher chickpea equivalent yield (2523 kg ha -1 ), water use efficiency (420.42 kg ha/cm), net return (Rs.58698/- ha -1 ) and B:C (3.46) were recorded under chickpea + mustard (4:2) rows cropping system over sole chickpea, sole barley, sole durum wheat, sole mustard, chickpea + barley (3:1) rows, chickpea + barley (3:2) rows, chickpea + durum wheat (3:1) rows and chickpea + durum wheat (3:1) rows, respectively. However, it was found at par with chickpea + mustard (4:1) rows cropping system chickpea equivalent yield (2430 kg ha -1 ), water use efficiency (405.0 kg ha/cm), net return (Rs.55675/- ha -1 ) and B:C (3.23) in the pooled analysis.
