Intercropping trial in cauliflower cv. Snowball-16

Abstract

The present experiment on intercropping trial in Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) cv. Snowbll-16 was carried out with the aim to find out the best intercropping system with better growth, yield and economic potential. Cauliflower intercropped with black cumin, Ajowan, Fenugreek and Marigold. Growth parameters very well showed that at the preliminary stages of growth, different intercropping treatments remained insignificant in all the growth parameters where as at later stages of growth i.e. at 45 and 60 DAT, All intercrops tried were significantly influenced and enhanced the growth parameters which led to luxurious growth of cauliflower and intercrops simultaneously. At harvest maximum yield was achieved with T3 (cauliflower + Fenugreek) 16.58 t/ha followed by 14.80t/ha with T4 (Cauliflower +Marigold).
