Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during winter seasons of 1994-1 997 at Hisar, to assess the production potential of various pulses and linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) intercropped with Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czemj & Cosson] under rainfed conditions. On an average, highest seed yield of mustard equivalent (1,878 kgha) and net retum and (Rs 16,657ha) were recorded under sole mustard followed by its intercropping with chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.) (1 : 5 ratio). Intercropping of mustard with chickpea and field pea increased the LER as compared to sole crops.
