Find out the maize equivalent yield of a maize + green gram intercropping system with the given information: (1) Maize yield: 30 q/ha (2) Green gram yield: 4 q/ha (3) Cost of maize: Rs. 44/

✅Explanation:
To calculate the maize equivalent yield, we need to consider both the maize yield and the green gram yield, adjusting for their relative value. Since the question provides the cost of maize, we can use it as a proxy for the relative value of maize and green gram.

• Here's a simplified approach:
-Assume the cost of green gram is the same as maize. This is a simplification, but without information on the actual cost of green gram, it's a reasonable assumption.
-Calculate the total value of the intercrop.
-Maize value: 30 q/ha * Rs. 44/q = Rs. 1320/ha
-Green gram value: 4 q/ha * Rs. 44/q = Rs. 176/ha
-Total value: Rs. 1320/ha + Rs. 176/ha = Rs. 1496/ha
-Divide the total value by the cost of maize to find the maize equivalent yield.
-Maize equivalent yield: Rs. 1496/ha / Rs. 44/q = 34 q/ha (approximately)
