Effect of different weedicides on intercropping system

Intercropping in India is mainly confined to rainfed cultivation. The merit of this system is to serve as kind of insurance against crop failure and increasing the risk bearing ability. Hence to setup the production level years after year and obtain maximum cost benefit ratio, optimum utilization of land and water resources by adopting efficient cropping system is of almost importance to meet challenge of population explosion. It is a pre-dominant tenure of the dryland farming system of the semi-arid topics. Over 50 per cent of the rainfed crops in Asia, Africa and Latin America which are grown under mixed intercropping system. In the recent past however, the consent of intercropping has changed. Now the system is geared to make efficient use of production resources, enhance per unit productivity and provide stability under adverse climatic condition.
