The effect of nitrogen and intercropping on yield and quality of sugarcane under wide row planting (5ft) was studied with two plant crops during 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 at Agricultural Research Station, Perumallapalle, Andhra Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in a spilt plot design with four main plots of fertilizer nitrogen levels, i.e, 75% RDN (168kg N/ ha), 100% RDN (224 kg N/ ha), 125% RDN (280 kgN/ha) and 150% RDN (336 kgN/ha) with four intercrops, viz. cowpea, cluster bean, bhendi (okra) and leafy vegetable as sub-plots. The results revealed that wide row (5ft) planted sugarcane crop responds very well up to 125% RDN and recorded the highest average cane yield with more cane diameter. With regard to intercrops, cowpea and cluster been crops performed better than okra and leafy vegetable producing higher pod yields. The interaction effect between the nitrogen levels and intercrops was not significant.
