Abstract
A 2-year experiment on 8 wheat (Triticurn nestivum L. emend. Fiori &.Paol.)-chickpea (Cicer ririetinurn L.)-based intercropping systems resulted in the highest yield advantage at 4 :2 sowing ratio . . of wheat and chickpea. However, sole crops of wheat and chickpea resulted in the highest grain or seed yields. Wheat equivalence, gross return. net return (Rsha), net return (Rsihalday), net retumldpee invested, land-equivalent mtio, monetary advantage, relative net return, area-time equivalent ratio, relative value total were recorded highest at 4 :2 sowing ratio of wheat and chickpea.References
