Pigeon Pea Based Intercropping System in Western Terai of Nepal / Paudel C.L. in Nepal Agriculture Research Journal, Vol.1, No. 1 (1997)  

Public ISBD [article]  inNepal Agriculture Research Journal > Vol.1, No. 1 (1997) . - 1-5 p. Title : Pigeon Pea Based Intercropping System in Western Terai of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Paudel C.L., Author Publication Date: 1997 Article on page: 1-5 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Intercropping,  pigeon  pea  cultivation,  land  equivalent  ratio,  sole  crops Abstract: A field experiment of pigeon pea based intercropping system was conducted at the Regional Agriculture Research Station, Nepalgunj during 1991-92 and 1992-93 seasons with objectives to find out the effect of different inter-crop species on pigeon pea productivity and to develop profitable intercropping system for the rainfed upland areas of land. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design with sole pigeon pea and other crops and their combinations. The yield and yield components of pigeon pea were not affected by intercrops and the pigeon pea/maize intercropping in 1:1 ratio gave the highest monetary return and land equivalent ratio (LER) of 1.53. The yield advantage was more in intercropping than all sole systems, though the pigeon pea yield was reduced when it was intercropped with rice Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1793 [article] Pigeon Pea Based Intercropping System in Western Terai of Nepal [printed text] / Paudel C.L., Author . - 1997 . - 1-5 p.
