Red Gram Intercropping in Groundnut Fields for Double Profit

Adopting a 7:1 or 8:1 row ratio of groundnut with red gram (pigeon pea) provides climate resilience and enhances soil nitrogen fixation. Even during dry spells, the deep-rooted red gram sustains yield while groundnut provides quick returns. Field demonstrations in Rayalaseema demonstrate an average 35% jump in net farmer income.
