ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2015 at S.V. Agricultural College Farm, Tirupati to study the comparative performance of different pearlmillet based intercropping systems. The results revealed that pearlmillet + groundnut in 2:2 paired row spacing (PRS) produced higher pearlmillet grain equivalent yield and land equivalent ratio and gross and net returns and benefit cost ratio. While these parameters were lowest with sole pearlmillet in paired row spacing of 40/80 cm.
Key words: Pearlmillet, Groundnut, Legume, Cropping indices, Economics.
