Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi (winter) season of 1998–99 and 1999–2000 at Gurukul-Narasan, Hardwar (Uttranchal) for “Studies on weed management in chickpea-mustard intercropping system”. Highest yield in terms of chickpea equivalent yield and maximum gross return in terms of Rs./ha were obtained by the chickpea + mustard (4:1) intercropping system. Weed free condition increases the yield and gave maximum gross return both in pure crop of chickpea/mustard and intercropping of chickpea and mustard.
