Intercropping is generally practiced on small farms with limited resources and it has been<br />

observed to enhance yields with greater stability in a variety <strong>of</strong> crop combinations. On-farm<br />

biodiversity is also promoted by diversification <strong>of</strong> crops in mixed cropping, intercropping and<br />

agr<strong>of</strong>orestry systems resulting in variation <strong>of</strong> diet and net returns, stability, proper utilization<br />

<strong>of</strong> limited resources human labour-force under low levels <strong>of</strong> technological intervention (Anil<br />

et al, 1998). Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is a multi-purpose grain legume, particularly grown in<br />

the semi-arid tropics. This region has the wide rainfall variability and the rainfall during kharif<br />

season is <strong>of</strong>ten ill distributed. It has capacity to adjust to the poor agro-ecological conditions<br />

prevalent in this region. India is a principal pigeon pea growing country accounting for<br />

approximately 90% <strong>of</strong> the total world production. In India, it is the second most cultivatable<br />

pulse crop after chickpea which is cultivated on about 3.62 million ha (Sarkar et al, 2020).<br />

Pigeon pea is suitable for intercropping with different crops like soybean, green gram,<br />

black gram and cowpea for increasing production, proper land utilization and<br />
