Abstract
This study was carried out at EI-Baramoon Horticultural Research Farm during summer seasons of 2000 and 2001 to study the effect of some intercropping systems (snap bean intercropped with pepper) and different nitrogen levels on certain growth characters. Split-plot design with three replications was used. The main plots were assigned for intercropping systems. while. the sub-plots were devoted to nitrogen levels. The obtained results revealed that the most effective intercropping systems were ISz (planting pepper on one side of the ridge and snap bean on the other side). and IS3 (planting pepper on one side of the ridge and snap bean on the two sides of the ridge without leaving one row for hoeing). Both systems of cultivation caused an increase in plant height. number of branches, stem diameter and plant dry weight of the two tested crops. Whereas. the highest plant height was recorded with IS, system of the two tested crops.
With respect to the effect of nitrogen level applied. plant height. number of branches, stem diameter and plant dry weight in both crops were increased as the nitrogen level was raised up to 100 kg N/fed.
Plants of both crops studied grown under the combination between IS3 and IS4 intercropping systems and received the zero level of
