The pooled data on yield parameters and economics is presented in Table 1. Data indicated that
Drumstick + Green manuring recorded the higher drumstick equivalent yield of 149.20 q/ha it
was followed by Drumstick + Black gram (1:6) (140.52 q/ha) whereas in case of intercrops
higher yield was recorded by soybean followed by blackgram.
Weight and number of drumstick pod/plant (Pooled 2012-17)
Treatment No. of sticks /plant Wt. of single stick (g)
C 1- Drumstick Sole (3x3m) 169.80 57.20
C 2- Drumstick + Green gram (1:6) 166.40 54.60
C 3- Drumstick + Soybean (1:6) 158.60 49.20
C 4- Drumstick + Kharif Sorghum (1:6) 154.00 47.40
C 5- Drumstick + Green mannuring (1:6) 218.80 62.20
The data depicted in Table 2 conclude that number of sticks per plant recorded significantly
higher 218.80 in treatment C5- Drumstick + Green mannuring (1:6) compared to other
treatments. Whereas minimum 154.00 number of sticks per plant recorded in treatment C 4-
Drumstick + Kharif Sorghum (1:6).
The weight of single stick found to be significantly highest 62.20g in treatment C 5- Drumstick
+ Green mannuring (1:6) followed by treatment C 1- Drumstick Sole (3x3m) 57.20g. Whereas
lowest weight of single stick is found in treatment C4- Drumstick + Kharif Sorghum (1:6).
