Paper Summary

A study looked at how different ways of planting crops together affect the amount of pigeonpea produced. They found that planting pigeonpea with greengram gave the highest yield. Planting in broad beds or ridges and furrows also led to more pigeonpea compared to flat beds. The combination of pigeonpea and greengram also made the most money.
