A field experiment was conducted on medium black soil at the Main Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during kharif 1998 to study the effect of intercropping of legumes with sweet sorghum at different row proportions. The results of the experiment indicated that sweet sorghum + field bean intercropping system at 2:1 row proportion produced significantly higher mixed green forage (59.50 t/ha), dry matter (11.35 t/ha), LER (1.54) and a net returns of Rs.13,571 per ha followed by sweet sorghum + cowpea intercropping system at 2: 1 row ratio due to better yield attributes.
