Anexperiment wasconducted during kharif season of 2013 to study the pigeonpea genotypes for intercropping with sorghum under south Gujarat condition. The highest grain yield (3155 kg ha−1) and stover yield (13456 kg ha−1) of sorghum were recorded under sole sorghum. While, highest seed yield (1480 kg ha−1) of pigeonpea were recorded under sole pegionpea var. Vaishali. Maximum gross returns of 89546 Rs ha−1, net returns of 67011 Rs ha−1, and Benefit Cost Ratio (2.97) was secured with sorghum intercropped with pigeonpea genotype Vaishali (T1). Hence, intercropping of sorghum with pigeonpea var Vaishali in 1: 2 ratio is recommended as it secured higher benefits.
