“…The lower relative yield of maize in intercropping indicated that the crop faced competition for space, nutrients, light, and water. The findings are in agreement with that of Hossain et al (2015).…”

An experiment was conducted in charland at the Multi Location Testing (MLT) site Bhuapur, Tangail during 2012-13 and 2013-14 under AEZ-8 to find out the suitable intercropping system of hybrid maize with different short duration vegetables with economic return. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with six dispersed (six farmers field) replications. The hybrid maize (ver. BARI Hybrid maize-7), potato (Diamant), spinach (local), red amaranth (BARI Lalsak-1), Radish (BARI Mula-1) were used as the planting materials. Five treatment combinations viz. T1= Sole Maize, T2= 100% Maize (maize paired row) + Potato (var. Diamant), T3= 100% Maize (maize paired row) + Spinach (var. local), T4= 100% Maize (maize paired row) + Red amaranth (var. BARI Lalshak-1) and T5= 100% Maize (Maize paired row) + Radish (var. BARI Mula-1) were studied. Maize grain yield in intercropped combination varied from 5.59-7.62 t ha-1. But the highest grain yield (8.17 t ha-1) was obtained from sole maize. Maize equivalent yields in the intercrops situation ranged from 11.39-19.68 t ha-1 where highest maize equivalent yield 19.68 t ha-1 was recorded from the treatment T3 (100 % maize + spinach). The same combinations also gave highest gross return (Tk. 373930 ha-1) and gross margin (Tk. 258585 ha-1) as well as benefit cost ratio (3.24). Though highest grain yield was recorded from sole maize but equivalent yield and economic return was much lower than the treatment T3.Bangladesh Agron. J. 2015, 18(2): 65-69

“…With respect to leaf area index the sole sweet corn (60 cm × 20 cm) which recorded the higher leaf area index (0.43,1.69 and 4.71 at 20, 40 and 60 DAS, respectively) as compared to sweet corn (60 cm × 20 cm) + spinach (1:1) intercropping system (0.29, 1.16 and 3.20 at 20, 40 and 60 DAS, respectively) (Table 2). These results corroborate the findings of Hossain et al, (2015) and Chaudhari et al, (2018). Plant canopies intercept light with varying degrees of efficiency associated chiefly with the LAI.…”

“…The increase in fresh cob yield was 50.5 percent over the intercropping of spinach at 1:1 row proportion with sweet corn sown at 60 cm inter row spacing (Table 3). The increment in the fresh cob yield of sweet corn was due to higher yield attributing characteristics viz., cob length, cob girth, cob weight and number of kernels per cob, these results are in line with the findings of Hossain et al, (2015).…”

Sweet corn is one of the most popular types for human consumption among different types of corn grown. It is peculiarly an American crop. Origin of sweet corn is considered as Peru, Bolivia and Equador. Sweet corn has been bred to have higher levels of natural sugar, which makes it very popular. It is hybridized maize, specially bred to increase sugar content and also known as "sugar corn". Vegetable as an intercrop provides leafy vegetable under rainfed situation within short duration which gives more monetary returns than any other short duration agronomical crop as demand of vegetables during the rainy season is more. Fenugreek commonly known as methi is cultivated throughout India which is used for cooking, salad and fodder purpose. Spinach is one of the most common vegetables of tropical and subtropical region and is grown widely in India. Leaves are rich in vitamin A, C, calcium, etc. coriander is used as common flavouring substance. Its leaves are used for flavouring curries, sauces and soups. Garlic leaves are rich in proteins,

“…Higher gross return was obtained from all intercrop combinations than sole crop. Many researchers also documented higher gross margin or net return in intercropping system than sole crop (Ali, et al, 2015;Alam et al, 2008;Bhuiyan et al, 2013;Farhad et al, 2014;Rahaman, et al, 2015 andHossain, et al, 2015). Among the combinations, the highest gross return was obtained from maize + potato intercropping system, which was 81% higher than sole maize.…”

The experiment was conducted at Multi Location Testing (MLT) site, Moulvibazar, Bangladesh during rabi season of 2016-17 and 2017-18 to study the profitability of intercropping of hybrid maize with vegetables and spices. Five intercrop combinations of hybrid maize along with sole maize were arranged in randomized complete block design (RCBD) replicated six times. There were six treatments viz., T1: Maize + potato, T2: Maize + red amaranth, T3: Maize + spinach, T4: Maize+ data shak, T5: Maize + coriander and T6: Maize as sole. The grain yield of maize in intercropped combination varied significantly. The highest grain yield (9.71 t ha-1) was in sole maize. The highest maize equivalent yield 15.60 t ha-1 was recorded from the treatment T1 (100% maize + potato) whereas the lowest yield (8.61 t ha-1) was obtained from the treatment T6 (sole maize). The highest gross return (Tk. 312000 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (3.29) was obtained from the treatment T1 (100% maize + potato). On the contrary, the lowest gross margin (Tk. 101600 ha-1) was obtained from treatment T2 (maize + red amaranth). It revealed that the combination of maize with potato was more compatible and profitable intercropping system in Sylhet region of Bangladesh Bangladesh Agron. J. 2018, 21(2): 73-78
