Abstract
An experiment was made to evaluate the agronomic and economic performance of different intercrops viz. Onion (Allium cepa), Potato (Solanum tuberosum) and sesame (Sesamum indicum) with sugarcane in paired row system. Sugarcane with potato followed by second intercrop sesame produced the highest yield of cane, potato and sesame. Maximum number of tiller, millable cane, cane diameter and unit stalk weight were observed in the same crop combination. On the contrary, sugarcane with onion followed by sesame produced maximum economic return. Brix (%) of cane juice did not varied significantly. So Intercropping with sugarcane performed better in respect of agronomic and economic benefits over sole cane.
