A field experiment was conducted in medium deep black clay soil under irrigated condition during September 2003 to April 2004, to study the Coleus intercropping in three and half year old V-1 paired row mulberry  in Northern Transition Zone of Karnataka. There were nine treatments laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The mulberry garden was pruned at ground level, ploughed once in between rows with wooden plough, treatments were imposed as per the plan. The ridges and furrows were opened at a distance of 40 cm between the paired rows of mulberry for planting coleus. The plant spread and height of the coleus raised as intercrop in mulberry with INM were non-significant. Among the intercropped treatments with INM, the significantly higher dry tubar yield of coleus was recorded in mulberry + coleus applied with 20t FYM + 75% RDF + 1.25 t Vermicompost + 20 kg Azospirillum (3.15 t/ha). Further, the forskohlin content was also highest (0.46%) in the same treatment but it was non-significant.
