Assessment of corn and soybean intercropping

In order to find the best planting pattern for corn and soybean intercropping a study was conducted in two years randomized complete block and design in four replication. Six planting pattern were designed with corn as main crop and soybean as associated. Also distance was considered from each other with lines of corn planting 75 cm and away from the soybean 15 cm (on the joint line). Thus was determined the first state to order a sixth pattern 1- six lines of corn only 2- three lines of corn, soybean a line and three lines of corn 3 - two lines of corn, soybean a line, two lines of corn, soybean a line 4- a line of soybean, a line of corn 5- two lines of soybean a line of corn and two lines of soybean 6- hill planting some soybean around the corn. During the growth period were collected, important data about the characteristic of growth phonology and other important characters. To determine the benefits of intercropping compare with monoculture, was used land equivalent ratio (LER). The results showed that all intercropping treatments were more efficient compare to monoculture.The results showed that all treatments and vessel pattern of the single-plant corn and soybean are better. Considering that these results can be deduced that be competing vegetation patterns and density in most of the mix was not enough to create competition within a way to. Thus the final yield of Intercropping to single ship was higher than
