Abstract
Field experiments were conducted at KIAAR Sameerwadi, Tal: Mudhol, Dist: Bagalkot, Karnataka, during 2017-19, to study the effect of different wide row spacings and intercrops on growth, yield and quality of sugarcane. The experiments consisted of three wide row spacings i.e. 1.2 m x 0.5 m, 1.8 m x 0.5 m and 2.4 m x 0.5 m and seven intercrops namely beet root, cabbage, knol khol, Japanese mint, French bean, garlic and sweet potato in pre-seasonal planting and four intercrops namely onion, ridge guard, cucumber and fenugreek in seasonal planting. The cane yield was significantly higher at 1.2 m x 0.5 m in pre seasonal (233.14 t/ha) and seasonal sugarcane (124.86 t/ha), respectively. Higher gross and net income of Rs.2,70,975 /ha and Rs.1,93,060 /ha was realized by French bean intercropped with pre-seasonal sugarcane planted at a spacing of 1.8 m x 0.5 m. Higher gross income of Rs.2,05,493 /ha and net income of Rs.1,85,248/ha was realized by cucumber intercropped with seasonal sugarcane planted at a spacing of 1.2 m x 0.5 m.
