Aims: To assess the compatibility and feasibility of buckwheat (a nutri-rich pseudocereal) when intercropped with tall-growing kharif crops in Northern transition zone of Karnataka. Study Design: Field experiment conducted in a randomized design to evaluate the growth and performance of buckwheat under intercropping systems. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the Northern Karnataka region, India, during two consecutive kharif seasons, 2021 and 2022. Methodology: Buckwheat was intercropped with tall-growing kharif crops to analyze its growth behavior, resource utilization efficiency and adaptability under intercropping conditions. Results: Intercropping with tall kharif crops influenced the growth of buckwheat, indicating its potential adaptability and usefulness in crop diversification and sustainable production systems. Conclusion: Buckwheat shows promise as a compatible intercrop with tall kharif crops in Northern Karnataka, contributing to both food and nutritional security through diversification and efficient resource use.
