Sugarcane variety 85R186 was intercropped with six different winter crops to identify most profitable intercrop. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications.The treatments comprised T1-sole sugarcane, T2 -SC + Coriander (leaf), T3-SC + Methi, T4 -SC + Cabbage, T5 -SC + Cauliflower, T6-SC + beetroot and T7 -Sugarcane + Wheat. Higher equivalent cane yield was recorded in Sugarcane + cauliflower (126.88) and Sugarcane +beetroot (126.26) & Sugarcane + cabbage (123.66) intercropping combination. Intercropping increased net returns significantly with Sugarcane + beetroot (Rs 2,60,695.00 ha-1), Sugarcane + cabbage (Rs 2,37,540.00 ha 1) &Sugarcane + cauliflower (Rs 2,29,820.00 ha-1) over sole sugarcane (Rs 144355.00 ha 1). Higher Monetary advantage index (MAI) value was obtained from sugarcane + beetroot (138171) & sugarcane + cabbage (136565) intercropping system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
