Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Kharif and Rabi season of 2015 at Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Dhule (Maharashtra) to study the effect of cotton based intercropping system on yield of succeeding Rabi sorghum under relay cropping. Among cotton-pulse intercropping system the Growth of cotton in terms of growth attributes viz. number of monopodial and sympodial branches and dry matter plant-1 were higher in sole cotton, whereas in intercropping systems, growth attributes were superior in cotton + green gram(1:1) row ratio. Among intercropping treatments, plant height (35.86 cm) was higher in the treatment of cotton + green gram (1:2) row ratio and minimum in cotton + green gram (1:1) row ratio and maximum dry matter per plant (14.63 g)was recorded in treatment of sole cropping, followed by cotton + green gram (1:1) row ratio (12.35 g). Growth of black gram crop in terms of growth attributes viz. plant height (35.46 cm) was higher in the treatment of sole cropping followed by cotton + black gram (1:2) row ratio (34.27 cm)and maximum dry matter per plant (12.94 g)was recorded in treatment of sole cropping followed by cotton + black gram (1:1) row ratio (10.48 g). Green gram Rabi sorghum crop sequence found more profitable in respect of income per rupee instead than cotton-pulse based relay cropping of Rabi sorghum.
