Effect of legume intercropping and foliar spray of zinc and iron on maize

Intercropping is growing two or more crops simultaneously on a piece of land to harness the efficient use resources increase per unit productivity. Maize being wide row crop provides ample scope accommodate short duration as intercrop. Legume are good option be grown intercrops in rows maize.

The laid out split plot design three replications. were assigned main plots whereas treatments subplot. Three four taken. total 12 combinations allocated randomly plots. To evaluate growth data for plant height, dry matter accumulation Leaf Area Index calculated regular time intervals. Experimental findings proved that intercropped with cowpea along 2% ZnSO4 FeSO4 30 DAS 60 results into highest Varanasi.
