International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities<br />

during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

was due to better use <strong>of</strong> environmental resources showing that crops with different maturity<br />

express the maximum demand for nutrients and moisture, aerial space and light and could be<br />

suitably intercropped (Enyi, 1977). With respect to the system pr<strong>of</strong>itability <strong>of</strong> the different<br />

intercropping system grown under the dryland conditions, T 5recorded higher system<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>itability 214 Rs. /ha/day followed by direct sown Finger millet + pigeonpea (170<br />

Rs/ha/day) and sole finger millet (165 Rs./ha/day). With respect to relative economic efficiency<br />

(%) higher relative economic efficiency 34.43 %, 461.69 % and 582.08 % was observed in<br />

T5[Finger millet+ Pigeonpea (TP)], T9 [Pigeonpea+field bean (1:1)] and T10[Groundnut+<br />

Pigeonpea(8:2)] over their sole crops. Intercropping assures more efficient utilization <strong>of</strong> the<br />

resources and higher productivity compared with each sole crop <strong>of</strong> the mixture (Mucheru-muna<br />

et al. 2010). Increase in system pr<strong>of</strong>itability and relative efficiency % increase was due to<br />

better utilization <strong>of</strong> growth resources such as light, water and nutrients which was absorbed and<br />

converted into biomass by the intercrop over time and space.<br />
