摘要

An experiment entitled "Studies on the effects of staggered sowing of inter crops in Summer Gossypium hirsutum L. Cotton Var. Kop.-498 on the yield and monetary returns" was conducted at the Cotton Improvement Project, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth,Rahuri (M. S.), during 1989-90, 1990-91 and 1991-92. The results revealed that sowing of intercrops, one month in advance in summer irrigated cotton found to give more seed cotton yield and monetary returns than sowing of inter crops alongwith cotton under summer irrigated conditions. Among intercrops advance sown groundnut and cowpea gave significantly highest monetary returns and L. E. R. than other intercrops tried.
