Abstract
SUMMARY: The results of experiments conducted for 2 years in north-western India under irrigated conditions are described here. Wheat following legume intercrops gave increases in growth, yield attributes, yield and N uptake. Various legume intercrops such as groundnut, cow peas (both for fodder and grain) and greengram reduced the need of fertilizer nitrogen for wheat in the succeeding season by 30–84 kg/ha compared with sorghum.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
