Intercropping of rabi season crops with rapeseed-mustard for resource use efficiency, stability, profitability

Emphasis on resource conservation and their efficient utilization, availability of high yielding crop varieties of varying duration and growth rhythms, integrated approach for plant protection measures, availability and use of fertilizer nutrients, non availability of additional urea for agriculture, decline in input use efficiency over the years and decrease in per capita land holding, has changed the concepts of intercropping.
