Effect of intercropping sesame with cotton on yield and yield components of cotton and sesame .

| Abstract |
he effect of two intercropping patterns, i.e. sesame on one side of cotton ridges or on separated ridges in alternative pattern (1 : 1) on growth, yield and yield components of both species was studied. Sesame was planted in both intercrop combinations in hills 20.40 or 60 cm apart. Intercropping treatments were checked against sesame or cotton in pure stand. The results indicated significant reductions in growth, yield and yield components of sesame and yield / fed. of cotton as compared with both components grown in pure stand. Reduction in sesame yield was more conspicuous when sesame and cotton were intercropped on the same ridges, whereas cotton yield decreased more evidently when sesame and cotton were grown on separate ridges. The effect of sesame spacing on the same traits of both components was not pronounced in both intercrop combinations. LERs when sesame was intercropped on the other side of cotton ridges were conspicuously higher than those when sesame and cotton were raised on separated ridges. The highest value of land equivalent ratio (LER) was obtained when sesame was spaced at 60 cm. A relatively more aggressive pressure was observed when sesame was intercropped with cotton on the same ridges, but all values obtained were far from any detrimental effects on yield and yield potential of both components. Sesame was always dominated whereas cotton was the dominant component.
