Abstract: The field experiment entitled "Effect of different legume, cereal and oilseed intercrops on castor (Ricinus communis L.) Productivity under the semi-arid region of Haryana" was conducted at Regional Research station, Bawal, CCS HAU during the kharif season of 2020-21, with the objectives to find out best suitable intercrops viz., greengram, pearl millet and sesame for castor intercropping system with respect to castor growth and production under two different row spacings of 150 and 200 cm. The results showed that significantly higher number of branches, length of primary spike, number of spikes plant-1, number of capsules primary spike-1, seed index and yield (seed and stalk) were recorded with values of 3,879 kg ha-1 and 5,656 kg ha-1, respectively in the sole castor (200 cm) which was at par with castor sole (150 cm) and castor (150 cm) + mungbean (1:2) intercropping system. The highest castor equivalent yield (4220 kg ha-1) was obtained in castor (200 cm) + mungbean (1:4).
