Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during inrnGangetic Alluvial soil on intercropping of sesame at two levels of nitrogenrnwith two varieties of each greengram and groundnut to analyze the growth,rnproductivity and effect of intercropping on individual crops. The highest seedrnyield of sesame was obtained from sole crop of sesame with 50 kg N ha-1 inrnboth the years. The significantly highest greengram yield was obtained fromrnsole crop of greengram cv. T-44, in both the years with 25 kg N ha-1rnthan that of same variety of greengram in association with sesame at 50 kg N ha-1.rnThe highest groundnut pod yield was obtained from sole crop of groundnutrncv.-JL-24. The highest intercrop yield was obtained from cv.JL-24, grown withrnsesame at 25 kg N ha-1 and lowest fromrncv.AK-12/24, grown with sesame at 50 kg N ha-1,rnin both the years. Intercropping of sesame with groundnut varieties recordedrnhigher total sesame equivalent yield than that with greengram at 50 kg ha-1rnnitrogen level.
