Abstract

A study was conducted during the winter season of 1992-93 and 1993-94 on intercropping of mustard [Brassica juncea (t.) Czernj. & Cosson] in linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) under rainfed condition at Raipur. Intercropping of 1row of mustard cv. Vanma after every 5 rows of improved linseed varieties at 25 cm row spacing proved more advantageous over pure stands of either crop in respect of linseed equivalent, gross monetary returns, benefit :cost ratio and land-equivalent ratio. Linseed and mustard gave almost equal yields but the former was more economical.
