Title: Forage Production Potential of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), Maize (Zea mays) and Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) Under Sole and Intercropping Systems
Abstract: Field experiment was conducted during summer 2007 at Navsari campus on clay in textured
soils with different cereal-legume fodders under sole and intercropping systems for getting
higher fodder yield and economics. Green and dry fodder yields of sorghum/maize, cropping
systems either sole sorghum or sorghum + cowpea in the ratio of 2:1 were equally good and
superior to rest of the systems. The intercropping of sorghum with cowpea in a row ratio of
2:1 recorded maximum land-equivalent ratio (1.51), gross (Rs 60744/- ha-1) and net (Rs 50031/-
ha-1) return along with higher benefit: cost ratio (5.67).
