Productivity of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) as affected by legume intercropping under different fertility systems
Ridhima Arya, K. P. Niranjan

Paper Summary

Sorghum productivity was studied with different fertilizers and legume intercropping. Using 100% inorganic fertilizer led to the highest grain and stover yields. Sorghum + cowpea intercropping with 50% inorganic fertilizers gave the highest green-fodder yield. Soil nutrients were restored more with farmyard manure and white popinac leaves compared to inorganic fertilizer.
