ABSTRACT

The basic concept of intercropping is that two or more crop species intercropped can exploit the
environment better than each of the component species grown separately. Intercropping of French
bean in maize did not affect the yield of maize significantly compared to sole maize. While French
bean yield was reduced significantly in intercropping. French bean had greater radiation use efficiency
in intercropping than in sole cropping. Here intercropping increased production per unit area per
unit time without affecting the production of main crop to a greater extent. All the maize/legume
intercroppings were having significantly higher LER (1.31 to 1.81), maize equivalent yield (67 to
140q/ha), net return (Rs10,000 to 17,000/ha) and B:C ratio than the sole maize
