Abstract: A study was undertaken to assess the efficacy of intercropping system in reducing weed infestation in cabbage intercropping with vegetables namely methi, palak, radish, beetroot and cluster bean in randomized complete block design with 4 replications. The results revealed that the number of weeds was significantly reduced in intercropping as compared to sole crop and the least weed count was observed in cabbage intercropped with methi (10.00) and radish (11.00). Weed dry weight was also reduced in intercropped cabbage with the least weed dry weight reported in cabbage with methi (9.50 g). Weed smothering efficiency also followed the same trend with cabbage intercropped with methi (59.93%) giving the best performance with regard to this attribute. The results of this study showed that cabbage intercropped with methi and radish could successfully reduce weed infestation as compared to sole crop of cabbage.
