Summary

An experiment was conducted at J.V. College, Baraut, Baghpat during rabi 2003-04 and 204-05 on inter cropping of french bean+potato intercropping with deferent rates of N and K application. The economic analysis of results indicated that intercropping system earned maximum of Rs. 55803/ha net profit which was found Rs. 18949 and Rs. 11014/ha more than net from potato pure and french bean pure, respectively. The application of 60 K 2O/ha earned Rs. 49819/ha maximum profit which has Rs. 8406/ha more over control. As application of 120 kg N/ha earned Rs. 54328/ha net profit and it was found Rs. 23149/ha more over control. The uptake of N was recorded maximum in intercropping system while K-uptake was maximum is sole potato and P-uptake was higher in sole French-been and intercropping. Uptake of nutrients increased with increasing doses of fertilizers application up to highest does of application.
