Abstract
Two Field experiments were conducted at shandaweel Experimental station during 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 seasons to evaluate the effect of intercropping sugar beet with onion, chickpea and faba bean under different ridges width (60.80 and 120 cm.) on yield and yield components of sugar beet. The experimental design was split plots with four replications.
The most Important results could be summarized as follow:
Yield of sugar beet was significantly reduced by intercropping, and when Intercropping with faba bean was more reducing compared with pure stand in both seasons. Yield and yield components of sugar beet grown on wide ridges were higher than that grown on narrow ridges. Sugar beet grown pure stand on wide ridges (120 cm.) had the highest values, while the lowest values were observed when intercropping with faba bean on narrow ridges (60 cm.).
2· Chemical characters of sugar beet i.e. T. S, S, %, sucrose % and purity % were aHeeted by ridges width and intercropped crops.
3· Onion pure stand or intercropped on ridges 120 em. gave higher values than ridges 60 and 80 cm. width. Bulb yield t I fed. was significantly decreased by intercropping in both seasons.
4· Chickpea seed yield I fed. was significantly decreased by intercropping in both seasons compared with pure stand. The treatment of 120 em. ridge width gave higher values of seed yield 1 fed. as solid or intercropped with sugar beet.
5· Yield of faba bean grown as solid on narrower ridges (60 cm.) were higher than it grown on wider ridges (120 cm.). While intercropped faba bean grown on wider ridges (120 em.) was higher than it grow on narrower ridges (60 cm.).
6· The highest value for L.E.R. was 1.55 when intercropping sugar beet with onion under wide of ridge 60 cm followed by 1.52 under 120 cm while the lowest values observed when intercropping sugar beet with faba bean were 1.13 , 1.08 under wide of ridge 60 cm in the first and second seasons, respectively.
7· Intercropped chickpea with sugar beet in ridges 120 cm. increased gross and benefit and profitability by L.E. 756, 482 and 10.2 % respectively than that of pure stand sugar beet in wide ridges 120 em ..
