Abstract


A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural College Farm, Dharwad, during rabi 1988 to study the performance of soybean with wheat under different row proportions. Inter­cropping of soybean with wheat affected the growth and yield of soybean significantly com­pared to sole soybean. Among different row proportions of wheat and soybean, total grain yield of soybean was significantly higher with 1 :2 and 3 : 1 proportions. Further, 1 : 2 (Rs. 6398/ha) and 3 :1 (Rs. 6314/ha) proportions have also recorded higher gross returns than the remaining treatments.
