The experiment consisted of five intercropping systems, (viz. I. sole aus rice, ii. aus rice + maize at 75 X 25cm2 spacing, iii. aus rice + maize at 75 X 50cm2 spacing, iv. sole maize at 75 X 25cm2 and v. sole maize at 75 X 50cm2 spacing) and three weeding practices (viz. I. no weeding, ii. two weeding and iii. weed free up to harvest). Dry matter production of aus rice increased gradually with the progress of its growth duration up to 90 days after sowing. Intercropping and weeding practices adversely affected the dry matter production of aus rice that was especially noticeable in aus rice intercropping with maize at 75 X 25cm2 spacing under no weeding condition. The highest grain yield was obtained in sole aus and fodder yield was obtained in sole maize at 75X 25cm2 spacing and both were under weed free conditions., The experiment consisted of five intercropping systems, (viz.
