“…Among the intercrops, the lowest gross return (Tk 268600/ha), gross margin (Tk 172043/ha) and BCR (2.78) were obtained from the combination of brinjal 100% + leaf amaranth 100% followed by jute as intercrop. The results of increased productivity and returns were consistent with the earlier reports of yield advantage of crop mixture compared to monoculture (Akhteruzzaman and Quayyum, 1991;Islam et al, 2012;Ahmed et al, 2013). …”

An experiment was conducted during 2010 and 2011 to find out the suitable crop combination for increasing total productivity, return and maximize land utilization through intercropping system. Six treatments viz. Brinjal 100% + Red amaranth 100%, Brinjal 100% + Leaf amaranth 100%, Brinjal 100% + Jute as patshak 100%, Brinjal 100% + Mungbean 60%, Brinjal 100% + Blackgram 60% and sole of base crops (brinjal) were used in the study. Results showed that different intercropping combination did not influenced yield and yield contributing characters of brinjal. The yield of brinjal comparatively lower in intercropping but total productivity increased due to additional yield of leafy vegetables and legumes. The increases in total productivity in terms of brinjal equivalent yield (BEY) was 8.80 to 26.67 t/ha in intercrop combination compared to base crop. All the intercropping combinations were higher in terms of brinjal equivalent yield, gross return and benefit cost ratio (BCR) over sole crops. Among the intercropping combinations, Brinjal 100% (100 cm × 75 cm) + Mungbean 60% (three rows mungbean in between brinjal rows maintained 30 cm apart rows with continuous seeding) was the most feasible and profitable intercropping system in respect of brinjal equivalent yield (20.85 t/ha), gross return (Tk.312750/ha), gross margin (Tk.212693/ha) and benefit cost ratio (3.13).

“…On average, growing of cassava with the oilseeds was more productive in terms of CYE in the late season with TMS 30572/Sunflower, TMS 30572/Ses/Sun, and TME 1/Ses/Sun recording 63.66, 62.29, and 61.49 ton/ha respectively. Similar findings on economic advantage in intercropping have been reported for pigeon pea/sesame (Sharma and Guled 2011), sesame/ mukhikachu (Islam et al 2012) and mash bean/sesame Bhatti et al 2013) using the YE of the dominant crop in the mixtures.…”

The two field trials evaluated the performance of sesame (var. PBTil) and sunflower (var. Isaanka) intercropped with cassava (var. TMS 30572 and TME 1) in a cassava‐based cropping system with a view to studying the phenology of the component crops and establishing mixture productivity in terms of biological efficiency (land equivalent ratio [LER] and area time equivalency ratio [ATER]), intercrop compatibility land equivalent coefficient (LEC) and economic efficiency (monetary advantage index [MAI] and cassava yield equivalent [CYE]) of the systems under humid tropical conditions during the early and late cropping seasons of 2003/2004. Intercropping highly significantly (P < 0.01) delayed number of days to flowering, physiological maturity and height at both stages, seed yield and yield attributes of sesame and sunflower relative to their monocrops. Similarly, intercropping highly significantly (P < 0.01) reduced number of leaves and plant height at 2, 3, 4 and 12 months after planting (MAP), number and weight of tubers per plant, mean tuber weight and tuber yield of cassava relative to their monocrops. The six intercropping systems recorded significantly (P < 0.05) higher biological efficiency (LER > 1.00 in both plantings and ATER > 1.00 in the late planting) than their respective monocrops and relatively high intercrop compatibility (LEC > 0.037 and 0.25). Based on MAI and CYE, TME 1/Ses/Sun, TMS 30572/Ses/Sun and TMS 30572/Sun were the three most economically efficient cropping systems, especially in the late and more preferred planting season and are hereby recommended to prospective growers for cultivation, economic empowerment, and reduction of household food insecurity.

“…The mean values of LER (more than one) in all intercropping treatments revealed that land was more efficiently utilized under intercropping than sole crop of brinjal. The results are in agreement with the findings ofJuskiw et al (2000),Islam et al (2012).…”

An experiment was conducted during rabi and kharif season of 2018 - 2019 and 2019-2020, respectively at Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Cumilla to find out the suitable crop combination of leafy vegetables with brinjal for increasing productivity and economic return through intercropping system. Five treatments viz. Brinjal + Red amaranth (T1), Brinjal + Leaf amaranth (T2), Brinjal + Patshak (T3), Brinjal + Spinach (T4) and Sole crop of brinjal (T5) were used in rabi season. In kharif season all the treatments were same except T4 where Indian spinach was used with brinjal instead of spinach. Results showed that yield and yield contributing characters of brinjal did not differ significantly due to different intercropping systems. Yield of brinjal was comparatively low in intercropping but total productivity increased due to additional yield of leafy vegetables. Increase of total productivity in terms of brinjal equivalent yield (BEY) was 2.03 to 25.68% (Rabi) and 2.36 to 22.29% (Kharif) and in intercrop combination compared to sole crop. All the intercropping combinations showed higher brinjal equivalent yield (BEY), gross return and benefit cost ratio (BCR) over sole crop. Among the intercropping combinations, Brinjal + Spinach (rabi) and Brinjal + Indian spinach (kharif-1) was the most feasible and profitable in respect of BEY (48.94 and 27.62 t/ha, respectively), gross return (Tk. 1223400 and 1105000/ha, respectively), gross margin (Tk.908823 and 782487/ha, respectively) and benefit cost ratio (3.88 and 3.42, respectively).
