Abstract

Black gram intercropped with either maize or sorghum (3:2) proved superior over rest of the other intercropping systems with lower infestation (26.96 and 28.13%, respectively), tunnelling (9.38 and 9.82%, respectively), larval (0.19 and 0.22/plant) and pupal (0.24 and 0.26/plant) counts of stem fly, M. sojae during summer. Higher black gram equivalent seed yield was registered in all the treatments of intercropping systems i.e., black gram + maize (3:2 and 5:1 ratio) and black gram + sorghum (3:2 and 5:1 ratio) in comparison to black gram as sole crop.
