Abstract: The field experiment was conducted during kharif 2018 and 2019 at Research farm, RVSKVV, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. The 15 treatments consisted with eight sole crops i.e. pigeonpea, sesame, groundnut, soybean, greengram, blackgram, cowpea, cluster bean and seven intercropping treatments with 1:2 ratio pigeonpea + sesame, pigeonpea + groundnut, pigeonpea + soybean, pigeonpea + green gram, pigeonpea + blackgram, pigeonpea + cowpea and pigeonpea + clusterbean replicated thrice in a randomized block design. Results indicated that the grain yield of sole pigeonpea (1684 kg ha-1) was significantly higher than intercropped pigeonpea (703 kgha-1). Whereas pigeonpea with groundnut resulted in maximum pigeonpea equivalent yield (1983 Kgha-1) followed by 1826 Kgha-1 with pigeonpea + cowpea intercropping system. Similarly the net returns was also maximum (82215 ₹ ha-1) with pigeonpea + groundnut intercropping system.
