The field investigation was laid out during two consecutive Kharif seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 at Soil Conservation and Water Management Farm, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur. The main objective was to find out the effect of pigeonpea on intercrops of black gram and sesame and vice versa. The soil of the experimental field was sandy loam, having pH 7.8, organic carbon 0.32%, available P2O5 17.3 kg/ha and available K2O 181.2 kg/ha therefore, the fertility status was medium. The treatments consisted of five cropping system i.e. pigeonpea sole, black gram sole, sesame sole, pigeonpea + black gram (1+1) additive series and pigeonpea + sesame (1+1) additive series. The base crop was taken pigeonpea while black gram and sesame were tested as intercrop. The total productivity of pigeon pea + black gram was highest (23.53 q/ha) in comparison to pigeonpea + sesame (20.30 q/ha) and pigeonpea sole (17.34 q/ha). The growth characters and yield attributes of all tested crops were commensurable to yields.
