ABSTRACT
Field experiment were conducted during 2004-05 and 2005-06 on deep black soil of Regional Sugarcane Research Station, N.A.U., Navsari. Results revealed that millable cane yield and sugarcane equivalent yield were improved with application of pressmud biocompost (40 t/ha and 20 t/ha) to Kharif rice which also gave maximum higher net realization and benefit : cost ratio for sugarcane raise with or without intercrop of greengram. Similarly, cane yield and benefit : cost ratio were recorded significantly higher with application of 100 per cent recommended dose of P/ha to sugarcane raise without greengram but it was remained at par with 100 per cent recommended dose of P/ha to sugarcane raise with greengram. Higher sugarcane equivalent yield and net realization were recorded with application of recommended dose of phosphorus (54.59 kg P/ha) to sugarcane raise with (S6) and without (S5) greengram over other treatments during both the years as well as pooled data.
Key words :
Intercrop, phosphorus, pressmud biocompost, rice, sugarcane.
