“…The highest grain yield (9.47 t ha -1 in 2014-15 and 9.24 t ha -1 in 2015-16) was obtained from sole maize might be due to higher single cob weight and 1000-grain weight. Similar results were also reported by Uddin et al, 2009. Among the intercropped combinations, the maximum grain yield (9.01 t ha -1 in 2014-15 and 8.3 t ha -1 gm in 2015-16) of maize was recorded when it was grown as paired row (100%) + 1 row squash (40%) due to less inter specific competition.…”

The experiment was conducted at the research field of Agronomy Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Joydebpur, Gazipur during rabi seasons of 2014-15 and 2015-16 to find out the suitable planting arrangement of squash (var. Bulam House) with maize (var. BARI Hybrid maize-9) as intercropping for higher productivity and economic return. Seven treatment combinations viz. maize normal plating (75 cm Í 25 cm), maize normal plating (75 cm Í 25 cm) (100%) + 1 row squash (Plant to Plant 80 cm) (116%), maize paired row (37.5 cm Í 150 cm Í 37.5 cm) (100%) + 1 row squash (Plant to Plant 80 cm) (50%), maize paired row (100%) + 1 row squash (Plant to Plant 100 cm) (40%), maize paired row (100%) + 2 rows squash (Plant to Plant 80 cm) (100%), maize paired row (100%) + 2 rows squash (80%) (Plant to Plant 100 cm) and sole Squash (100 cm × 80 cm) were tested. Results showed that the highest grain yield of maize (9.47 t ha-1 in 2014-15 and 9.24 t ha-1 in 2015-16) and squash yield (28.19 t ha-1 in 2014-15 and 25.02 t ha-1 in 2015-16) were recorded in sole crop, respectively. Maximum mean maize equivalent yield (19.39 t ha-1) was recorded in maize paired row (100%) + 2 row squash (Plant to Plant 80 cm) (100%) combination in both the year. The highest gross return (Tk. 2,93,850 ha-1), gross margin (Tk. 1,92,450 ha-1) and BCR (2.95) were also obtained from the same combinations. Two years’ results revealed that maize paired row + 2 rows squash (Plant to Plant 80 cm) combination could be suitable for higher productivity and economic return. Bangladesh Agron.

“…Economic yields of the component crops were converted to wheat-grain-equivalent yield (WGEY), taking into account the prevailing minimum support price/market prices of the crops (Uddin et al, 2009). System productivity was calculated by adding the WGEY of the component crops.…”

A field experiment was conducted during 2 rainy (kharif), winter (rabi) and summer seasons (2015-17) on a sandy clay loam soil at New Delhi to evaluate 5 cropping systems viz., maize-pea-okra, maize-mustard-green gram, cotton-wheat, bottle gourd-onion and okra-wheat, for productivity, profitability and energetics. The experiment was laid-out in a randomized block design replicated 4 times. Bottle gourd-onion cropping system recorded the highest wheat-grain-equivalent yield (WGEY) of 19.9 t/ha, followed by maize-peaokra (14.06 t/ha). The lowest WGEY was recorded with maize-mustard-green gram (9.12 t/ha). The gross returns (₹ 313.56x 10 3 /ha), net returns (₹ 123.5x10 3 /ha), benefit: cost ratio (3.23), were also higher with bottle gourd-onion cropping system, while maizemustard-green gram registered the lowest gross returns, net returns and B: C ratio. The lesser input energy (25.68 x 10 3 MJ/ha) and higher energy productivity (775.2 g/MJ) was recorded with bottle gourdonion cropping system. All the five cropping systems can suitably substitute the existing ricewheat cropping system under marginal farmer's situations, not only by providing higher productivity and returns, but also provide a regular income throughout the year.

“…Greater productivity obtained from pumpkin including the spinach system in both years might be due to the highest yield of spinach as compared to other leafy vegetables. Uddin et al (2009) also reported the greater system productivity in the maize + spinach intercropping system.…”

Intercropping may allow increasing both the productivity and diversity of crop through efficient utilization of land in densely populated countries like Bangladesh where fertility of agricultural land is declining gradually. A field experiment was conducted at a recently developed alluvial soil in Bangladesh during 2015–16 and 2016–17 winter seasons to select suitable leafy vegetables intercropping with pumpkin for higher productivity, better land and time utilization and maximum economic return. Six leafy vegetables viz., coriander green, red amaranth, radish green, mustard green, jute green, and spinach were intercropped with pumpkin and compared with sole pumpkin using a randomised complete block design. Intercropping leafy vegetables with pumpkin did not reduce pumpkin yield but increased system productivity by 39–120% over sole cropped pumpkin. All the intercropping combinations performed better than sole pumpkin. However, the highest system yield (72.7 & 75.6 t ha–1), land equivalent ratio (1.74 & 1.75), area time equivalent ratio (1.20 & 1.16), net return (8001 & 8350 USD ha–1) and benefit cost ratio (10.3 & 10.7) were obtained in 2015–16 & 2016–17, respectively from pumpkin + spinach system indicating that this system might be suitable for higher crop productivity, better land and time utilization as well as economic return for the selected area.
