Optimum spacing of groundnut as intercrop in tapioca

Abstract

The results from the studies conducted at the Research Station and Instructional Farm, Mannuthy from 1977 to 1981 indicated that among different treatments, growing one row of groundnut at 30 cm apart may be optimum for intercropping with tapioca as compared to the sole crop of tapioca. In addition, it is possible to get an increase in income of Rs. 1,223 per ha than growing tapioca alone.
