“…Quayyum and Maniruzzaman (1995), Islam et al (2006) and Santalla et al (2001) also reported that seed yield was higher in monoculture as compared to their corresponding intercropped yield. The yield loss due to intercropping also reported by Ahmed et al (2013), Muoneke and Ndukwe (2008) and Manga et al (2003).…”

Adoption of intercropping may increases crop production instead of declining trend of agricultural land in Bangladesh. Thus, a field experiment on intercropping of root crops with chilli was executed at char area of Dori Bhabkhali in Mymensingh district during October 2014 to March 2015 to find out an appropriate intercrop for cultivation with chilli for higher productivity and maximum economic return. The experiment was consisted with five crop combinations viz., sole chilli, chilli + radish, chilli+ carrot, chilli + onion and chilli + garlic. Significantly the highest yield (green chilli) was obtained with sole chilli (10.26 t ha-1). Among the intercropping treatments, the highest chilli yield (10.31 tha-1) was obtained from chilli + garlic which were close to chilli + onion whereas the lowest (7.71 tha-1) was found in chilli + radish combination. Intercropping reduced 3 to 48 % chilli yield but total productivity as expressed by chilli equivalent yield increased by 80-135% over sole chilli due to the contribution of companion crops. The highest chilli equivalent yield (25.01 t ha-1), gross return (1250500 Tk ha-1), gross margin (1133500 Tk ha-1) and marginal benefit cost ratio (8.56) were obtained from chilli + garlic combination. Considering the experimental findings, chilli + garlic might be suitable combination for higher productivity and economic return.Progressive Agriculture 26 (2): 109-114, 2015

“…Among the treatments, pumpkin including spinach combination was 120 % higher over the sole pumpkin followed by pumpkin+ red amaranth (66%), pumpkin+ mustard green (50%), pumpkin+ radish (49%), pumpkin+ jute green (46%) and pumpkin+ coriander (39%). Increased system productivity was also reported by many authors when leafy vegetables were intercropped with maize (35-63% by Akhtar et al 2015), Brinjal (11-27% by Islam et al 2014 and okra (28-45% by Ahmed et al 2013).

“…Additional yield of companion crops having a good market price mainly contributed to increase the profitability of intercropping systems over sole pumpkin. Begum et al (2015), Hossain et al (2015), Akhtar et al (2015), Islam et al (2014) and Ahmed et al (2013) also reported that intercropping gave higher productivity and economic returns compared to monoculture. 10.7 Price of input (US $ kg -1 ): Urea: 0.24, TSP: 0.27, MOP: 0.21, Gypsum: 0.12, Zinc sulphate: 2.20 and Boric acid: 4.27, pumpkin seed: 3.66, radish seed: 2.44, red amaranth seed: 2.44, coriander seed: 159, mustard seed: 1.04, spinach seed: 2.44, labour: 3.66 US $, land lease: US $ 40.24 bigha -1 1 US $ = 82 BDT…”

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.

“…The negative impact of yield in main crop in intercropping system was reported by Varghese (2013) in cabbage of cabbage plus radish intercropping system. The yield loss due to intercropping was also reported by Begum et al (2015), Ahmed et al (2013) and Muoneke and Ndukwe (2008). Yield advantage: The advantageous effect of ash gourd in intercropping system was expressed by ash gourd equivalent yield and that was influenced by different intercropping systems (Figure 3).…”

Due to depletion of per capita land, consistent stress on improving factor productivity has warranted many alternative cropping strategies. The intercropping effect of red amaranth (Amaranthus gangeticus Linn, var. BARI Lalshak-1), jute leaf (Corchorus capsularis, var. Local) and stem amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor var. BARI Data-1) on the yield performance and thereby economic return of ash gourd as main crop was tested in low nitrogen and medium phosphorus and potassium under Netrakona district of Bangladesh. The experiment consisted of four crop combinations viz., sole ash gourd, ash gourd + red amaranth, ash gourd + jute leaf and ash gourd+ stem amaranth.Companion vegetables did not influence on the yield and yield parameters of ash gourd. Although, the highest yield was obtained from sole ash gourd (34.11 t ha-1)which was close to ash gourd + jute leaf (30.65 t ha-1) followed by ash gourd + red amaranth ( 29.34 t ha-1) intercrop combination. By intercropping of ash gourd with different vegetables, total productivity increased up to 6-16% over sole ash gourd due to the contribution of companion crops. The highest ash gourd equivalent yield (39.61 t ha-1) was recorded from ash gourd + stem amaranth combination. Ash gourd + stem amaranth combination gave the highest monetary returns in respect of gross return (Tk. 296880 ha-1) and gross margin (Tk. 174433 ha-1). The LER and ATER value for all the treatments were above one and this indicated that intercropping in ash gourd is biologically efficient. Considering the experimental findings, ash gourd + stem amaranth might be suitable combination for higher productivity and economic return.Progressive Agriculture 28 (2): 92-99, 2017
