Abstract

The field experiment conducted at Research farm, College of Agriculture, Indore (Madhya Pradesh) during Kharif season of 2007–08 revealed that soybean and maize as sole crops although yielded higher seed and straw of 16.66, 20.50 and 36.75, 90.74 q ha−1, respectively, the soybean + maize intercropping in 4:2 rows ratio at 30 cm apart receiving 50.0 percent with RDF + seed inoculation with rhizobium and PSB culture to soybean and 1/3 RDF + seed inoculation with azotobacter and PSB culture to maize and 5 t FYM ha−1 to both crops with common basal application of FYM + biofertilizer + 17 kg N + 20 kg P2O5+ 17 kg K2O ha−1 and remaining N as split application to maize crop proved superior by recording grain and stover yield of 19.75 and 59.35 q ha-1, respectively in comparison to other intercropping treatments. The treatment also proved best in terms of overall performance recording increase SEY (24.71 q ha−1), LER (1.45), gross return (Rs. 45199 ha−1), net return (Rs. 28527 ha−1) and B:C ratio (2.71).
