Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2012. The results indicated that maize+mashbean intercropping under different planting arrangements with recommended NPK+Zn+PSB to maize and mashbean gave highest growth parameter, yield, gross, net returns and benefit cost ratio under paired planting. Besides, this combination also improves the soil nutrient status.
