Abstract: The objective of this research is to find out suitable row ratio of oat and lucerne under intercropping system with respect to quality and yield. A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2018-19 at the Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The soil of experimental site was loamy sand in texture having good drainage and moisture retention capacity. Six different combinations of row ratio along with sole cropping of oat and lucerne were tested to fulfill the objective of this study. The treatments were allotted in randomized block design with four replications. All the yield (GFY, DMY, CPY) and quality (Crude protein, ADF, NDF, CF) parameters were recorded significantly superior under the planting ratio 2:1 (oat + lucerne) in intercropping. However in case of yield attributes, sole cropping of oat and lucerne were found comparative to row ratio 2:1 (oat + lucerne).
