Growth and Yield of Maize (Zea mays) as Influenced by Intercropping of French Bean and Soybean

Background: The intercropping of maize with legumes is beneficial in multifaceted aspects. Advantages maize-legume pronounced the form higher yield and greater utilization available resources, benefits weeds, pests disease management, fixation biological nitrogen by transfer to associated control erosion covering a large extent ground area. current investigation aimed study effect maize-French bean maize-soybean on growth under rainfed condition Namsai district Arunachal Pradesh. Methods: field experiment was conducted during 2021 randomized block design consisting 3 treatments i.e. T1- sole maize, T2- + French T3- soybean four replications. Observations parameters were recorded harvesting crop. results analysed using standard statistical procedures ANOVA. Result: In intercropping, as well compared system. grain 5541.67 kg ha-1.
