Abstract:
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Mill sp.) is grown in rainfed as well as dry region of India, growing of only pulses is not so much remunerative in present scenario of dry areas of agriculture to fulfill the diverse demand of consumers and rapid growing population. A field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2021 and 2022 and the experiment consisted of pigeonpea and six different nutria-rich millets viz., barnyard millet, Kodo millet, little millet, proso millet, brown top millet and teff. The maximum number of pods (156), number of seeds per pod (4.16) seed weight per plant (44.66 g plant-1) and test weight (10.81g) were observed in sole pigeonpea, which was superior and at par with nutri-rich millet inter crop while lowest in pigeonpea + brown top millet.
