Abstract:

Jute equivalent yield varied from 4.7 to 5.3 t/ha and was profitable over sole cropping of jute, 3.9 t/ha only. Weed control efficiency of intercropping system was 68-82% over 63.6% in conventional manual weeding twice. Benefit-cost ratio of jute and green gram intercropping system varied between 2.2 to 2.46 over 1.8 in conventional manual weeding twice. CRIJAF nail weeder and CRIJAF herbicide applicator recorded higher weed control efficiency (82 to 84%) and B:C ratio (2-2.28) over conventional manual weeding twice (63.62% and 1.80). This jute and green gram intercropping system will improve jute farmers economy, provide protein security to rural mass, and take care of soil and animal health in rural sector.
