Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at College of Agricultural Technology, Theni during summer 2019. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with nine treatments and replicated thrice. The effect of various row proportions on the relative performance of maize was studied. The experimental results revealed that, the grain yield and yield attributing components of maize, blackgram and soybean was significantly influenced by inter cropping pattern. The grain yield obtained under sole maize (5550 kg/ha) (T1) was significantly higher than the maize + blackgram (2:1) intercropping system (5010 kg/ha) (T5) which was closely followed by maize + blackgram (1:1) (5000 kg/ha) (T4). Grain yield of sole blackgram (954 kg/ ha) (T2) was significantly higher than the maize + blackgram (1:1) (724 kg/ha) (T4). The higher LER (2.95) was recorded with maize + blackgram (2:1) intercropping system (T5). Higher net return (Rs.88284) and B:C ratio (2.50) was recorded in intercropping of maize + blackgram (1:1) (T4) which was followed by Maize + blackgram (2:1) (T5).
