principle involved in parallel intercropping is that the component crops should becomplementary and not competitive to each other. The inclusion of legumes in thesecrops improves the quality of fodder and makes the system more profitable andsustainable. The normal row spacing of 45 to 60 cm is kept for the grain crops and whichcould be widened by pairing rows and accommodating 2 rows of forage legumesbetween paired rows. It is observed that growing of cowpea as intercrop did not affect thegrain and stover yield of sorghum. Higher green forage, dry matter and crude proteinyields of cowpea can be achieved in paired row planting. Inclusion of legume duringkharif enhances the yield of succeeding wheat crop (Table 5). Besides, bonus yield ofprotein rich cowpea fodder and enhanced wheat yield cropping systems involvingleguminous fodder also improves soil health.Table 5: Productivity of different component crops in food – fodder croppingsystemsSystem Grain yield of food crop(t/ha)Rice based cropping systemKharif Rabi GreenfodderYield (t/ha) FEY (t/ha)DryfodderCrudeproteinRice - Berseem 3.35 - BFEY:Rice - Oat 3.14 - BFEY:Rice - Wheat 3.09 - BFEY:Wheat based cropping systemCowpea - Wheat - - 32 5 1.06 SFEY: 45Cluster bean -WheatSorghum -Wheat67.131.930.9- - 31 6 1.24 SFEY: 41- - 53 14 0.82 SFEY: 53Maize - Wheat - - 47 10 0.85 SFEY: 47Wheat +berseem (3+1)- 4.2 7.8 1.2 - -Wheat + lucerne - 4.2 4.6 0.8 - -Forage Production Technology for Arable Lands11
