Water and nitrogen management in wheat-lentil intercropping system under late-sown conditions

Abstract

SUMMARYExperiments comprising various ratios of wheat and lentil in a mixed cropping system under two irrigation regimes and three levels of N application are described and the results discussed. In all experiments the highest yield of grain was obtained by growing wheat alone and the highest yield of lentil grain by growing lentil alone. No mixture could equal the yield obtained by wheat alone.
