Field experiment demonstrates yield benefits of intercrops in sugarcane, highlighting sunnhemp and blackgram's efficacy.
A field experiment was conducted in the clayey loam soils of the Sugarcane Research Station, Cuddalore during 1999 - 2001 with a view to find out suitable intercrops for sugarcane. This trial was conducted both in early and mid late varieties. Intercropping with sunnhemp (CO1) or blackgram (TMV-1) recorded the highest cane (113.3 and 104.3 t ha-1) and sugar yield (13.81 and 12.81 t ha-1) and also generated the highest net income (Rs.32,731 and Rs.32,544 ha-1).
