Planting pattern in gobhi sarson (Brassica napus) and winter fodder intercropping under rainfed conditions of Jammu

A field experiment was conducted during 1994–95 to 1996–97 with intercropping of winter fodders, viz. oat (Avena sativa L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) in gobhi sarson (Brassica napus L.) with different planting patterns at Rakh Dhiansar, Bari-Brahamana, Jammu. Gobhi sarson variety ‘GLS 1’ planted in rows 45 cm apart + rows of oat 25 cm apart cross-wise recorded the highest mean net returns of Rs 14, 553/ha and proved statistically superior to all other treatments.
