Investigating the effect of corn and mung intercropping on the yield and quality of Vigna radiata in the climate of Shoush city
Journal Title: Journal of Research in Ecology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Cultivating long grain such as sorghum and corn -with members of fabaceae is one of the most popular kinds of intercropping. The experiment was carried out in the form of split plot in a private farm in Shoush city, 8 Km away from Shoush – Dezful road, in 2013. The experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. The maximum yield of wet forage in the treatment of C100 (pure corn + 100% normal density of mung without weeding) was 42.48 tons per hectare and the minimum of that treatment Mw was 13.85 tons per hectare in the intercropping treatment. The maximum yield of dry forage in the treatment of C100 was 9095 tons per hectare and the minimum of that treatment MW was 2.67 tons per hectare. The lowest percent of digestibility in the treatment of M0: pure mung with weeding was observed with the percent of 64.58%. The effect of intercropping was obvious in other studied features. The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of forage of both crops and recommending its intercropping provided that it results in better performance and higher quality and protein
