Sesame Equivalent Yield
Green gram and groundnut yields were converted into sesame equivalent yield, on the basis of their prices for benefit of comparison of different cropping treatments [Table-4]. Sesame equivalent yield in different intercropping situations were appreciably higher than that of sole crops of sesame or green gram, but were lower than the sole crop of groundnut, in both the years [Table-4]. Groundnut producing much higher yield showed superiority to both sole and intercropping systems in this case.
Intercropping of sesame with groundnut varieties recorded higher total sesame equivalent yield than that with green gram (471 to 474 kg/ha sesame seed yield, 1123 to 1250 kg/ha pod yield, thus 1369 to 1474 kg/ha of total sesame …show more content…

In case of sesame with green gram (cv. T-44) at 50 kg/ha nitrogen level, it was recorded 470 to 471 kg/ha sesame yield, 434-494 kg/ha green gram yield and thus produced 819 to 862 kg/ha sesame equivalent yield. The highest yield of green gram was obtained from cv.105 in association with sesame at 50 kg N/ha. [Table-4]
Two nitrogen doses of sesame showed differential effect on component crops, but no variation was noticed in terms of total biomass and yield advantage, so higher doses of nitrogen might not be essential for this intercropping system. Similar results on intercropping of oilseeds and legumes were also opined by Patra et al. (1994a). Sesame-groundnut intercropping system gave higher yield even in water and nitrogen limited condition (Ghanbari & Tavassoli, 2013)
