Abstract:

In the present context of climate change and declining productivity of major crops, it is important to cultivate an environmentally friendly crop. Millets are ecologically sound and can be grown under diverse agroclimatic conditions. Millet-based cropping system is common in dryland and rainfed conditions. Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) has a wider adaptability for different agroclimatic conditions and
seasons, even it is suitable for intercropping system. In pearl millet-based intercropping system, crop choice, crop maturity, plant stand and planting geometry, and planting time are the key considerations which determine the success of the intercropping system. Earlier researches have documented the benefits of pearl millet-based intercropping system in terms of resource use efficiency and yield benefits. The present review article focuses on the key considerations while choosing pearl millet-based intercropping system and its holistic benefits on land resource use efficiency and enhanced productivity.
