EFFECT OF INTERCROPPING AND FERILIZER ON GROWTH AND PRODUCTIVITY OF SESAME (Sesamum indicum L.) AND MUNG BEAN (Vigna radiata L.)

Abstract

Afield experiment was conducted in the autumn agricultural season (2020) in Kirkukgovernorate, Hawija district, Ghazieh village, in a sandy alluvial texture soil. The study included twofactors one was intercropping system ( sesame alone ) and( mung alone ) (1 sesame row +1 mungrow ) and (2 sesame row +2 mung row ) and (3 mung row + 3 sesame row) and (2 sesame row + 4mung row) The second factor was fertilizers combination of (0 N+ 0 P), (N 80 + P 30 ), ( N80 + P60) and (N160 + P 30) (N 160 + P60 kg h-1 ) The experiment was carried out as randomized completeblock design (RCBD) with three replicates. The results showed significant differences between thetreatments in all studied traits of sesame, Wheres as observed superiority of the intercropping systemin all the studied traits unless plant height in which was superior in single planting at fertilizercombinedof (30 P + 80 N) kg. h-1 on all system of intercropping which was (149.33) cm , Also therewere significant differences between the interaction of the mung which shwoed superiority ofintercropping treatment in all studied unless weight of (300) grains , While there werent differencesfor intercropping systems
