“…From pooled data, it was clear that grain yield was decreased 1.38%, 4.48%, 9.31% and 8.79% in T 1 , T 2 , T 3 and T 4 , respectively over the sole stand (Figure 2 and 3). Similar results were found by Sarker et al (2013) who observed that the yield of hybrid maize was not influenced by intercropping of hybrid maize with short duration vegetables.…”

Bangladesh in consecutive two years of 2015 and 2016 for evaluating the performance of maize and Indian spinach intercropping (MIS) under different row spacing for higher profitability through economic assessment. Five different cropping systems viz., T 1 : hybrid maize normal row along with one row of spinach, T 2 : hybrid maize paired row along with one row of spinach, T 3 : hybrid maize paired row along with two rows of spinach, T 4 : hybrid maize paired row along with three rows of spinach and T 5 : sole maize were included in this experiment. The performance of the component crops was evaluated regarding total grain and vegetable yield, competitive functions, and economic returns. The results indicate that yield and yield contributing characters of maize were not significantly affected by the intercrop of spinach at different ratios. Maize paired row along with three rows of spinach (IS) (T 4 ) combination had higher maize equivalent yield (11.06 t ha -1 ), gross return (US$ 1,499 ha -1 ), gross margin (US$ 564 ha -1 ) and benefitcost ratio (BCR) (2.07) than others treatments. This intercropping system also recorded higher land equivalent ratio, monetary advantage index, land equivalent coefficient, income equivalent ratio and area time equivalent ratio of 1.24, US$ 2,434 ha -1 , 0.30, 1.24 and 1.18, respectively. Hence, this cropping system may adopt in the smallholders' for getting maximum benefits in prevailing climate change.

The alternative to increase the income of maize farmers is intercropping with legumes. Intercropping of maize-mungbean should be not maize productivity lowest compared to monoculture. Therefore, to avoid the decrease in the yield of maize, the plant population of maize in intercropping should be the same as the optimal population in maize monoculture and mungbean in intercropping does not interfere or compete with the maize crop. To suppress yield reduction of mungbean in intercropping by setting maize plants as such so that the light intensity obtained by mungbean to be optimum. The research was aimed to obtain maize-mungbean intercropping with high farmer income. The field experiment was conducted on dry land at Gowa, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The treatment i.e 1. Intercropping 1 row of mungbean in maize twin row at plant spacing of (100-50) cm x 20 cm; 2. Intercropping 2 rows of mungbean in maize twin rows at plant spacing of (100-50) cm x 20 cm; 3. Intercropping with 1 row of mungbean in twin row at plant spacing of (110-40) cm x 20 cm; 4. Intercropping 2 rows of mungbean in maize twin rows at plant spacing of (110-40) cm x 20 cm; 5. Maize monoculture with a plant spacing of 75 cm x 20 cm; 6. Mungbean monoculture with a plant spacing of 40 x 20 cm. Both of maize monoculture and intercropping maintained plant population at 66,666 plants ha-1. Monoculture of mungbean population was 125,000 plant ha-1, whereas intercropping whit 1 row of mungbean was 33,333 plant ha-1 and 2 rows of mungbean at 66,666 plant ha-1. The results showed that maize-mungbean intercropping in twin rows of maize was able to obtained maize grain yield 2.9 - 7.0% and profit of 26 - 45% higher than monoculture, had maize equivalent yield 24-50% higher than maize grain yield actual, land equivalent ratio >1, and B-C ratio > 1. Intercropping of maize-mungbean with twin rows plant of maize at spacing (110-40) cm x 20 cm and 2 rows of mungbean can be recommended to increase farmer income because it has the highest land utilities and economic benefit compared to other models.

Baby corn (Zea mays L.) refers to the whole, entirely edible cobs of immature corn harvested just before fertilization at 2-3 cm long silk emergence stage. The baby corn has a medium plant type and provides sweet, succulent and delicious green cobs within 65-75 days of sowing. Low quality yield of legumes and low yield of baby corn experienced due to continuous monoculture resulting from persistent soil depletion in the developing world have caused the need for a sustainable practice to improve quality and yield of aforementioned.
