Abstrakt: Intercropping with legumes makes efficient use of land and other resources, resulting in lower production costs. The reported work evaluates the effect of crop intensification in garden peas grown under a natural farming system in which pea was intercropped with radish, coriander, spinach and fenugreek. This experiment was conducted during the rabi season 2021-2022 in the Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture, Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP). The result revealed that garden pea cv. 'Pb-89' intercropped with radish and fenugreek under natural farming system produced maximum crop equivalent yield (174.17 q ha-1) with net returns of Rs. 396214 ha-1 and B:C ratio of 3.14 followed by the treatment in which pea intercropped with radish and spinach having with crop equivalent yield of 170.50 q ha-1, net returns of Rs. 382806 ha-1 and B:C ratio of 2.97 in comparison to control (Sole crop of pea: RDF @ Urea 55 kg ha-1 + SSP 375 kg ha-1 + MOP 100 kg ha-1 + FYM @ 200 q ha-1). However, the land equivalent ratio was found to be maximum (1.93) under treatment T6 followed by T11 with LER of 1.72 and minimum LER was recorded under T2 i.e., 0.87. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
