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

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

Yield <strong>of</strong> drumstick (Pooled data 2012-17)<br />

C 2- Drumstick + Green gram (1:6) 99.16 804<br />

C 3- Drumstick + Soybean (1:6) 84.25 1845<br />

The pooled data <strong>of</strong> mean yield represented that the maximum 149.20 q/ha yield in the treatment<br />

C5- Drumstick + Green manuring (1:6) and lowest 81.90 q/ha yield in treatment C4- Drumstick<br />

+ Kharif Sorghum (1:6).<br />

Data presented in Table 4 revealed that the soil pH and EC were not significantly affected due<br />

to different drumstick based intercropping systems. Whereas, improvement in soil organic<br />

carbon and over all soil major nutrients were improved over treatment C1. Significantly<br />

highest organic carbon was observed due to treatment C5 i.e. green manuring and available<br />

nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were also higher due to growing green manuring crop with<br />

drumstick crop.<br />

Conclusion<br />

The Agri-horti system comprising Drumstick + Green mannuring (1:6) and Drumstick + Green<br />

gram are found to be superior in yield advantage and economical returns under rainfed<br />

condition <strong>of</strong> Marathwada region.<br />
