“…This is indicated by better growth and grain yield advantage (80-113%), which is exhibited under intercropping as indicated in Table 1. Higher LER could be due to better use of natural resources as previously indicated by Jabbar et al (2009) and Udhaya and Kuzhanthaivel (2015). The REYs were higher in all the intercrops with rice-spinach intercrop producing the highest REY (16,153 kg ha -1 ) (Table 2).…”

Aerobic rice production system provides a sustainable alternative to the traditional rice cultivation. To evaluate the agronomic and economic effect of intercropping aerobic rice with four leafy vegetables, field experiments were conducted at University of Agriculture Science Bangalore research station, India during 2017 and 2018. The experiments consisted of 9 treatments with 4 replications and, a Randomized Completely Block Design was applied. The treatments were as follows: Intercropping (IC 1 ): rice+amaranth; IC 2 : rice + coriander; IC 3 : rice + spinach, and IC 4 : rice + fenugreek plus other 5 treatments of solecrops (SC), SC 5 : rice, SC 6 : amaranth, SC 7 : coriander, SC 8 : spinach, and SC 9 : fenugreek. Results showed that intercropping produced significantly better plant growth and higher yields than sole crops. The rice-spinach intercrop produced highest rice grain yield (7,651 kg ha -1 ), vegetable yield (25,508 kg ha -1 ), land equivalent ratio (2.13), rice equivalent yield (16,153 kg ha -1 ), production efficiency (107.69 kg day -1), area time equivalent ratio (1.23) and system harvest index (0.77). Net return and benefit cost ratio of rice-spinach intercropping were also higher than that of sole crops. This suggests that intercropping of aerobic rice with leafy vegetables can be productive and economically efficient.

“…Aggressivity (Aab) was greater than (> 0) means all the sowing dates had difference in competitive ability.This might be due to delayed sowing increases the competition for soil moisture, nutrients, space and PAR within plant to plant and between two intercrops. [39,10].…”

“…Lowest ATER was seen in pigeonpea + niger (I3) (0.84 and 0.81) cropping system. "Higher ATER values in the above mentioned intercropped treatments were due to higher combined seed yield per plant of both the crops per unit area and longer duration of the crop present on the land from planting to harvest" [10,49].…”

The experiment conducted at the Department of Agronomy farm, VNMKV., Parbhani (MH), during the kharif seasons of 2016-2017 and 2017-2018, integrates key agro-environmental factors. The utilization of deep black (vertisol) soil with good drainage replicates prevalent soil conditions in the region, ensuring the relevance and applicability of the findings to tropical environments of Latin America [20,21]. The implementation of a split plot design with two replications, considering four sowing dates and seven cropping systems, enhances the experimental robustness, facilitating a comprehensive evaluation of the interactions between timing and cropping systems [6,22].The study's findings highlight the significance of sowing dates in maximizing pigeonpea equivalent yield and net monetary returns, with sowing within a week period after the regular commencement of the monsoon (D1) demonstrating superior performance. Furthermore, the pigeonpea + soybean intercropping system emerges as the most favorable [50], indicating its potential for enhancing agricultural productivity and economic returns in the region [17,19]. The study's insights into the competitiveness and economic benefits of different intercropping systems provide valuable guidance for agronomic management practices in tropical environments [50]. By identifying the superior performance of certain cropping systems, such as pigeonpea + soybean, and the influence of sowing dates on yield outcomes [51,45], the study informs farmers and agricultural practitioners on optimal strategies for maximizing productivity and profitability in pigeonpea cultivation [29,30]. The observed behavior of component crops within intercropping systems underscores the complexity of crop interactions and highlights the need for tailored management approaches. The dominance of the niger crop in intercropping systems over the pigeonpea base crop emphasizes the importance of understanding crop dynamics for optimizing yield outcomes [5,18]. Additionally, the study's evaluation of different sowing dates contributes to enhancing climate resilience [14] in agricultural systems by identifying optimal timing strategies for mitigating climate variability effects on crop performance [7,37,13].
