Abstract
Association of 100% population of sorghum [Sorgf~z~~n bicolor (L.) Moench] and 75% of blackgram (Phnseolus nlurtgo L.) accounted for maximum land-equivalent ratio (1.33) as well as grain yield (4.38 tonnesfha) and gave maximum monetary advantage (Rs 2,9601ha) and net retum (Rs 8,437lha). i.e. 17.6% and 370.0%, more net return than sole sorghum and sole blackgram respectively. The net return/ Re investment from this treatment was Rs 2.42ha. The relative net returns from this association over sole solghuln (Rs 1.12) and sole blackgram (Rs 2.44) were also highest. However, this treatment was very close to the stand of each component species with 100% population for all the parameters of evaluation. -, 1-References
