to evaluate yield and productivity indices of maize and sugar beet intercropping with different planting ratios, a field experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replication at hamedan province in nahavand, in 2013. the planting ratios were 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100 (maiz: sugar beet) using replacement method. results showed that intercropping had signi...

abstract to find out how maize and potato can grow and develop in an intercropping system rather than each grown alone in a sole cropping system the following factorial experiment was performend in the frame-work of a randomized complete block three replications in the experimental farm of the faculty of agriculture, zanjan university in year 2004. different potato to maize ratios of (1:0), i.e...

On-farm production of protein is limited in most dairy farm operations in arid and semi-arid environments. Cereal-legume intercropping could be a viable option to obtain forage with higher protein content. A two-year experiment was conducted during 2009 and 2010 growing seasons in a loamy soil to determine whether intercropping pattern of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and annual medic (Medica...

in order to evaluate the yield, yield components and protein contents of two wheat cultivars (zarrin and gaspard) in sole cropping and intercropping systems,an experiment was conducted using replacement serious technique and different combinations of intercropping with high plant density and optimal of each cultivar. a factorial experiment was conducted in the form of randomized complete block ...

this research aimed at investigating the effect of different levels of nitrogen and planting patterns on dry matter production and growth physiological indices in intercropping maize and sunflower. to do this a split plot experiment carried out based randomized complete block design with three replications in research field of shushtar islamic azad university. the main plot included three level...

Sweet sorghum is a popular grain crop grown in water stress prone areas in the world. Its sole stand leaves ample resources untapped. This study evaluated the feasibility of intercropping sweet sorghum using eight intercropping patterns composed of 2 x 2 x 2 factorial combinations of two legumes (viz. mung bean and soybean), two row patterns [viz. alternate single row (ASR) and double row (ADR)...

introduction intercropping is an old and widespread practice used in low input cropping systems in many areas of the world. in fact, intercropping is claimed to be one of the most significant cropping techniques in sustainable agriculture, and many researches and reviews attribute its utilization to the number of environmental benefits from promoting land biodiversity to diversifying agricultur...

The need to increase cowpea production solve the menace of malnutrition is a global challenge and land limitations have also made intercropping indispensable. Field trials were carried out at Teaching Research Farm, Kwara State University, Malete, National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM) Idofian evaluate growth yield cultivars sorghum with their competitive behavior in cowpea-sorgh...
