Abstract: The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. The main plot treatment comprised intercropping system in 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 1:2 and 1:3 row ratio along with sole finger millet and groundnut and sub plot treatments consisted of three nitrogen levels viz. 100 % RDN, 75 % RDN and 50 % RDN + Azospirillum Rhizobium. The soil of the experimental plot was low in available nitrogen and available phosphorus, moderately high in available potassium, medium in organic carbon. Total biomass yield was higher in sole groundnut than intercropping system. In case of majority of yield attributes, uptake of the NPK and their values were higher under intercropping of Finger millet + Groundnut in 1:3 row ratio with 100 % RDN ha-1.
