Intercropping in Turmeric

Abstract

A comparative field trial was carried out for two years on intercropping in turmeric with pulses like greengram, blackgram and redgram; vegetables like bhendi and onion; cereals like ragi (finger millet) and maize; green manure crop like sunnhemp. Intercrops like bhendi, onion, green-gram {Phaseolus aureus L.) and blackgram (Phaseolus mungo L.) increased the yield of turmeric and the income. Maize and ragi as intercrops reduced the yield of turmeric and the income.
