A study was done to compare different crops grown with pigeonpea to see which combinations worked best together. They looked at things like how much land and time were needed, how crowded the plants were, and how much yield was lost. The best combination was pigeonpea with groundnut, followed by pigeonpea with greengram, blackgram, and cowpea. These combinations were the most profitable and used resources efficiently.
