Intercropping Garlic (Allium Sativum) With Chilli (Capsicum Annuum L.) in the Haor Area of Kishoreganj

A field experiment entitled “Intercropping of Radish and Beetroot with Chilli under Prayagraj Agro-climatic conditions” was conducted from August, 2021 to February, 2022 at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and 12 treatments. The experiment consisted of six cropping combinations viz., sole chilli, sole radish, sole beetroot, chilli + radish, chilli+ beetroot, chilli + radish + beetroot. The highest yield (green chilli) was obtained from treatment T1 (sole chilli @ 100 % RDN) (13.09 t ha-1). Among the intercropping treatments, the highest chilli yield (12.62 t ha-1) was obtained from treatment T10 (chilli @ 50% RDN + radish @ 50% RDN) whereas the lowest (9.45 t ha-1) was found in treatment T6 (chilli @ 75% RDN + radish @ 12.5% RDN + beetroot @ 12.5% RDN). Intercropping reduced chilli yield but total chilli with intercrop yield increased over sole chilli due to the contribution of companion crops. The highest chilli along with intercrop yield (150.71 t ha-1), gross return (1101506 Rs. ha-1), net return (817969 Rs. ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (3.88) were obtained from treatment T12 (chilli @ 50% RDN + radish @ 25% RDN + beetroot @ 25% RDN). Considering the experimental findings, treatment T12 (chilli @ 50% RDN + radish @ 25% RDN + beetroot @ 25% RDN) found the most suitable combination for higher productivity and economic return under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions.

“…Intercrops significantly reduced the yield of main crop as compared to sole cropping. Similar results were recorded by Khatun et al, [4].…”

A field experiment entitled “Intercropping of Chilli with Carrot and Radish in Prayagraj Agro- climatic Conditions” was conducted from November 2021 to March 2022 at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. This Experiment was laid out in randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and 08 treatments. The experiment consisted of six cropping combinations which are, Sole chilli, sole carrot, sole radish, chilli + carrot, chilli+ radish, chilli + carrot + radish. The highest yield (green chilli) was obtained on the treatment T1 (sole chilli @100 % RDF) (13.09 t ha-1). Among the intercropping treatments, the highest chilli yield (12.68 t ha-1) was obtained from the treatment T6 (chilli @ 70% RDF + carrot @ 30% RDF) whereas the lowest yield (10.57 t ha-1) was found in treatment T8 (chilli @ 60% RDF + carrot @ 20% RDF + radish @ 20% RDF). Intercropping reduced the chilli yield, but the total chilli with intercrops yield increased over the sole chilli. Due to the contribution of companion crops. The highest chilli yield along with intercrop yield (150.71 t ha-1), gross return of (1101506 Rs. ha-1), net return of (817969 Rs. ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (3.88) were obtained from the treatment T8 (Chilli@ 60 % RDF + Carrot @ 20 % RDF + Radish @ 20 % RDF). Considering the experimental finding’s, treatment T8 (Chilli @ 60% RDF + Carrot @ 20 % RDF+ Radish @ 20 % RDF) were found the most suitable combination for the higher productivity and economic return under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions.

A field experiment entitled “Inter Cropping of Chilli With Coriander and Fenugreek in Prayagraj Agro-climatic Conditions” was conducted from December, 2021 – March, 2022 at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and 08 treatments. The experiment consisted of six cropping combinations viz., sole chilli, sole coriander, sole fenugreek, chilli + coriander, chilli+ fenugreek, chilli + coriander + fenugreek. The highest yield (green chilli) was obtained from treatment T1 (Sole chilli @ 100 % RDF) (13.06 t ha-1). Among the intercropping treatments, the highest chilli yield (12.73 t ha-1) was obtained from treatment T4 (chilli @ 85% RDF + coriander @15% RDF) whereas the lowest (10.54 t ha-1) was found in treatment T8 (chilli @ 55 % RDF + coriander @ 22.5 % RDF + fenugreek@ 22.5% RDF). Chilli production was decreased by intercropping, but overall chilli yield rose above solitary chilli due to the contribution of companion crops. The highest chilli along with intercrop yield (150.71 t ha-1), gross return (1101506 Rs. ha-1), net return (817969 Rs. ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (3.88) were obtained from treatment T8 (chilli @ 55 % RDF + coriander @ 22.5 % RDF + fenugreek@ 20% RDF). Considering the experimental findings, treatment T8 (chilli @ 55 % RDF + coriander @ 22.5 % RDF + fenugreek@ 20% RDF) found the most suitable combination for higher productivity and economic return under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions.
