Abstract:
In order to evaluate the effects of different intercropping patterns on yield components, yield and land use efficiency at diffirent intercropping patterns of dill (Anethun graveolens L.) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), a field experiment was arranged based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at a farm located in West Azerbaijan province- city Nagadeh, Iran during growing reason of 2011-2012. Treatments included row intercropping (one row of fenugreek one row of dill), strip intercropping (two rows of dill one rows of fenugreek, three rows of dill one rows of fenugreek, two rows of fenugreek one rows of dill, three rows of fenugreek one rows of dill, two rows of fenugreek two of dill) and solecropping dill and fenugreek. Intercropping patterns had significant effect on all of mentioned traits. The highest grain yield and biological yield of fenugreek were achieved in solecropping with 940 and 3103 kg.ha-1, respectively. Results showed that the maximum grain yield and biological yield of dill obtained of three rows of dill one rows of fenugreek with 860 and 4816.67 kg.ha-1, respectively. The essential oil percentage (2.85) of all treatments was higher than solecropping (2). The highest Land equivalent ratio (1.90) was obtained in two rows of fenugreek two rows of dill. The maximum Actual yield loss (2.18) and Intercropping Advantage (1.28) were obtained in three rows of fenugreek one rows of dill that represents an increase advantages in intercropping than solecropping.
