Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during Rabi 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) on the topic “Influence of Row Ratio on Assessment of Yield and Economics of Wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Mustard (Brassica nigra) Intercropping System”. to study treatments consisting with row Proportions with wheat and mustard intercropping. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 8.0), low in organic carbon (0.28%), available N (225 kg/ha), available P (19.50 kg/ha) and available K (92 kg/ha). There were 8 treatments each being replicated thrice and laid out in Randomized Block Design. The findings discovered that treatment 1 (Sole wheat cropping) recorded significant andmaximum number of effective tillers/m2 (634.01), number of grains/spike (52.80), seed yield (4.02 t/ha), straw yield (6.73 t/ha) and Harvest index (37.39%) of wheat and treatment 2 (Sole mustard cropping) recorded significant and maximum number of siliqua/plant (210.47), number of seeds/siliqua (22.90), test weight (3.66 g), seed yield (1.27 t/ha), straw yield (2.65 t/ha) and Harvest index (32.33%) in mustard.However, Inter-cropping with wheat-mustard (4:1) rows recorded significant and higher Land Equivalent Ratio (1.11), Wheat equivalent yield (5,046 kg/ha).
