Okra + cowpea intercropping at 60 cm x 45 cm recorded the highest okra equivalent yield, lower weight of weeds from the interspace and highest gross return during both the seasons. In addition, highest net return and per day return were also recorded from the same treatment during the second season. The result revealed the scope of above combination as an economically viable, biologically suitable and sustainable cropping system to increase the productivity of vegetables.
