Water use by wheat, chickpea and mustard grown as sole crops and intercrops.

Mandal B.K. | Ray P.K. | Dasgupta S.
In a 3-year field study the duration of chickpea (Cicer arietinum Linn.) was found to have decreased when it was intercropped with wheat (Triticum aestivum Linn. emend Fiori and Paol.). With an increase in the number of irrigations, there was an increase in the accumulation of dry matter and leaf-area index. The efficiency of water use was the highest in sole wheat in terms of grain production and in sole mustard [Brassica juncea (Linn.) Czern. and Coss. subsp. juncea Linn.] in terms of monetary returns. Wheat + chickpea mixture could exploit solar energy more efficiently than sole crop of wheat and wheat + mustard.
