Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at research farm, Department of Agronomy, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi during monsoon season of 2008 and 2009 with three planting systems viz., sole planting (S1), normal planting (60 × 20 cm) + blackgram (S2) and paired row planting (80+40 cm and 20 cm) + blackgram (S3) as main plot treatments and nine integrated nutrient management treatments to assess the response of pigeonpea + blackgram intercropping system to integrated nutrient management under rainfed ecosystem of eastern Uttar Pradesh. The results revealed that pigeonpea equivalent yield (PEY), land equivalent ratio (LER), gross return, net return, B: C ratio and monetary advantage index (MAI) were higher in normal planting during both the years of investigation. Both the planting systems (normal planting and paired row planting) were statistically at par to each other and significantly superior to sole planting. Total rainfall use efficiency and effective rainfall use efficiency were higher under normal planting of pigeonpea. Significantly higher yield attributes and yield, pigeonpea equivalent yield, land equivalent ratio, gross return, net return, B:C ratio and monetary advantage index were recorded with 100% RDF + 50% RDN +5 kg Zn ha −1. Highest total rainfall use efficiency and effective rainfall efficiency were also higher with 100% RDF + 50% RDN +5 kg Zn ha−1 during both the years of study.
