The field experiment was conducted, during Late rabi season (Feb to May. 2018), to find out the suitable ratio combination of intercropping with maize for higher and sustainable production. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design consists of seven treatments viz., T1 - Maize sole crop, T2 - Cowpea sole crop, T3 - Maize + Cowpea 1:1 row proportion, T4 - Maize + Cowpea 3:1 row proportion, T5 – Maize + Cowpea 4:1 row proportion, T6 – Maize + Cowpea 2:2 row proportion, T7 - Maize + Cowpea 3:2 row proportion with three replication. The seeds of maize variety “Kanchan 25” were sown with a spacing of sole maize 60×20 cm and intercrop maize 60×10 cm, with duration 75 - 80 days. The sole and intercrop, Cowpea local variety were sown with a spacing of 30×10 cm with duration of 55-60 days. The nutrient content, nutrient uptake and economics of maize and cowpea were favourably influenced by the treatment, Maize sole crop (T1). The results clearly proved that Maize sole crop (T1) might be a suitable practice for achieve higher maize nutrient content and uptake with due to precaution on the soil physical condition.
