“…All intercropping combinations increased LAI of soybean when compared to monocrop, significantly in SS-MM-SS combination, to 43% and 84% with and without Coveron, respectively. It is in contrast with results obtained by Manjunath and Salakinkop (2017), where sole crop gave the highest LAI value. Likewise, intercropping expressed a significant effect on average biomass yield, emphasizing S-M combination as the most promising.…”

“…This ratio proved to be advantageous with others cereals and legumes, too (Amanullah et al, 2016;Esmaeili et al, 2011). However, this value is not as large as compared to the values obtained by Manjunath and Salakinkop (2017) where soybean and millet intercropping gave better results, what could be due to various ratio of soybean and millet (4S:2M). In intercrops treated with Coveron slightly lower LER values, comparing to monocrop, were obtained for S-M and SS-MMMM-SS combination (0.97 and 0.98, respectively).…”

“…The highest LAI value was recorded in SS-MM-SS combination, while the highest value of total yield was for monocrop. However, Manjunath and Salakinkop (2017) showed that the highest LAI value was for millet sole crop. In experiment with mung bean, proso millet had a higher value of LAI as intercrop compared to monocrop (Gong et al, 2018).…”

“…For the calculation of LAI, leaf area was recorded by LI-COR LI-3100 Area Meter, Lincoln, Nebraska USA. Leaf area index was calculated out by dividing the leaf area per plant by land surface area occupied by the plant (Manjunath and Salakinkop, 2017).…”

“…Also, the ability of soybean to accumulate nitrogen enabled it to become a plant with high nutritive value for food and feed. The highest protein content (40%), richness in oil, vitamins and minerals makes soybean being harmonized crop for combining with cereals (Du et al, 2018;Manjunath and Salakinkop, 2017).…”

Sustainable agriculture considers production of high quality food and feed with minimal impact on environment. Intercropping is one of the most efficient ways to produce valuable biomass for animal feed rich in nutrients. Intercrop combinations: alternating rows of soybean and proso millet (S-M), alternating strips with 2 rows of soybean and 2 rows of millet (SS-MM-SS) and alternating strips with 2 rows of soybean and 4 rows of millet (SS-MMMM-SS); single crop of soybean and single crop of proso millet were tested. The effect of bio-fertilizer Coveron was also followed. Aboveground biomass was harvested and land equivalent ratio (LER), as well as leaf area index (LAI) was determined. All intercropping combinations increased LAI of soybean when compared to monocrop, to 43% and 84% in SS-MM-SS combination with and without Coveron, respectively. Coveron slightly increased LAI. The highest values of biomass yield were obtained in S-M intercrop for soybean (39% and 42% higher in relation to monocrop, in combination with and without Coveron, respectively) and in monocrop for proso millet. Nevertheless, the highest LER value was obtained for SS-MM-SS combination without Coveron (1.12). In intercrops treated with Coveron slightly lower LER values were obtained for S-M and SS-MMMM-SS combination (0.97 and 0.98, respectively). Irrespective to sowing way, results indicate that 1:1 ratio of soybean and proso millet in intercrop (S-M and SS-MM-SS combinations) is the most promising way to achieve high biomass yield.

World’s population is growing exponentially and agriculture has to fulfil their food requirements. An important strategy for increasing productivity and labour utilization per unit area of available land is to intensify land use. Intercropping is advanced agro technique of cultivating two or more crops in the same space at the same time. It increases in productivity per unit of land via better utilisation of resources, minimises the risks, reduces weed competition and stabilizes the yield. Millets are ancient nutri-cereals which play an important role in food and nutritional security of the country. They are commonly grown as sole crop world-wide. Pulse production can be increased by growing pulses on favourable lands that are occupied by cereals and cash crops by way of intercropping. The combination of cereal and legume in intercropping is mostly preferred by the farmers in subsistence farming targeting livelihood security. In this study, the works carried out by various researches in millet and pulse based intercropping are discussed. This review would be useful to the researchers who are involved in this field.
