PERFORMANCE OF LEGUME CROPS UNDER SUGARCANE BASED INTER-CROPPING SYSTEM

A field experiment was conducted at R and D farm, VSI, Pune in collaboration with Bhabha Atomic Research Center, Trombay during the year 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 crop season with seven treatments including three intercrops namely groundnut, black gram and green gram and each intercrop having two varieties were evaluated in the Randomized block design with three replications.On the basis of pooled results obtained from experimentation it can be concluded that, the treatment T 1 (sugarcane + groundnut var.TG 37) intercropping system (124.45t/ha) recorded higher cane yield, but cane equivalent yield (261.87 t/ha) was observed in treatment T 6 (Sugarcane + Green gram var.Pusa Vaisakhi)
