A field experiment was conducted in Central farm of Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai during ‘Kharif’ 2019 to study the irrigation scheduling and intercropping on growth and yield of aerobic rice. The experiment was laid out in strip plot design with twelve treatment combination and replicated thrice. The results found that among the irrigation scheduling, plant height, Leaf area index, Crop growth rate, Dry matter production and also grain and straw yield were recorded higher in irrigation scheduling of Irrigation water / Cumulative pan evaporation ratio 0.8 upto PI thereafter IW/CPE ratio 1.2 and lower in scheduling irrigation at IW/CPE ratio 0.8 upto PI thereafter IW/CPE ratio1. Whereas, intercrop practices rice alone recorded a higher crop growth parameters like, plant height, LAI, CGR, DMP and yield of aerobic rice. Whereas, rice + green gram intercropping system noted in lower growth parameters and yield of aerobic rice. However, LER was higher in rice + black gram intercropping system.
