N saving effect of legumes on the subsequent wheat crop was quantified with two N levels. Four legumes intercropped to maize followed by wheat crop were studied for intensification measures such as wheat equivalent yield (WEY), land equivalent ratio (LER), sustainable value index (SVI), and economic returns. In this study, the effect of the legume intercropping on the entire cropping system, particularly the maize + legume-wheat system was studied. ![]() ![]() Several studies indicated such beneficial effects on the other component crop however, little research has been conducted to quantify their effects on the subsequent crop in a cropping system. The intercropping of legumes with cereals help to achieve sustainable intensification by their mutual complementarity at efficiently using radiation, nutrients, etc.
