Abstract
Fodder beet grown under the present conditions, irrigated with brackish drainage water and saline soils, in the Fayoum Province proved to be adequately successful. Intercropping faba bean to cover the domestic needs and raise the profitability of the area/unit, with differing intercropping devices and nitrogen supply were investigated. Setting the faba beans on the opposite side of the ridge, mainly increased the fresh and dry weights of both foliage and roots as well as, the length and diameter of the roots. Anyhow, pure stands of fodder beet gave higher values, when receiving 45 kg N/feddan, being the highest level in the intercropping treatments providing the maximal values. At the harvest time, the yield of foliage remainder was slightly higher when growing faba beans on the same side of fodder beet, meanwhile significant increases were found for root yields, when growing faba beans on the opposite side when being in interaction with the raising nitrogen supplement reaching the maximal value at the level of 45 kg N/feddan.
