Intercropping is experienced by preponderance of farmers in many
regions of the world. Intercropping has since long been used as
mean to cover the risk of failure of base crop and it can pilot to
boost food supply without retreating the sustainability of soil.
This system of cropping suppresses weeds, reduces pest disease
infestation, gives yield advantage and there is stable yield over
time. Crop fertilizer needs can be met with the addition of an
organic fertilizer, which is suitable for enhancing crop yields on
sustained basis and cost effective too. The use of legumes as an
intercrop can serve a potential source of organic fertilizer. It
can be used as a supplement source of nutrition especially that of
nitrogen. It is an economical way of food production as one input
such as N from legume can be applied once and used by all the crop
components in the farm thereby saving time for the farmer. Thus
present project will be helpful to farmers in order to augment the
crop yield and sustain the soil fertility, identify an effective
and low cost fertilizer level technique for maize and substitute
N-fertilizer with leguminous crops as an organic source.
