The investigation entitled “effect of intercropping of mustard (Brassica juncea l.) With kabuli chickpea (Cicer kabulium l.) Using land configuration on productivity and profitability” a research project was done at the organic research farm, Karguanji, institute of agricultural sciences, Bundelkhand University, Jhansi (u.p.) during rabi season 2019-20 and 2020-21. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications with sowing methods using land configurations. The result revealed that, different land configuration significantly influenced growth parameters viz., plant height, dry weight of plant, yield attributes and yield of mustard and chickpea. The sowing of mustard and kabuli chickpea under furrow system and broad bed was identified to better method of intercropping compared to sole cropping of both as the growth parameters were slightly reduced but ultimately the yield equivalent term was apparently higher. Mustard grown in furrows + kabuli chickpea broad beds in ratio 1:3 under broad bed and furrow system gave higher yield and mustard equivalent yield, kabuli chickpea equivalent yield, land equivalent ratio LER. Thus, the broad bed and furrow system was identified to be most suitable sowing method for obtaining higher yield from mustard and kabuli chickpea intercropping under organic farming in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh.
