A field study was conducted in shallow black soils of medium fertility in Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh, dur ing the rainy season of 1994 95 and 1995 96, to evaluate the effect of different fertilizer management on root and oil.yield of vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides L.) in intercropping system with redgram or pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] and blackgram (Phaseolus mungo L.). lntercropping of vetiver with redgram proved better as redgram gave higher seed yield than intercropping of blackgram with vetiver. Fertilizer application Q 75 kg N 40 kg P,O ha to vetiver and 2 kglha of Rhizobium to the redgram resulted higher net profit of Rs 43,540lha besides benefrt : cost ratio of 2.29.References
