Two experiments were carried out at the experimentaJ farm, Fac. of Agric., Fayoum University during 2003/2004 and 200412005 seasons, to stUdy the effect of intercropping patterns and nitrogen fertilization on growth, yield and yield components of sugar beet and faba bean. Each experiment comprised the following trealments: solid planting for both crops and two planting patterns, Le., intercropping sugar beet: faha bean at 100%: 25% and 100%: 50%. In addition three nitrogen fertilizer rates i.e., 30, 60, 90 kg N per feddan were applied. Randomized complete block design with three replicates was used. The obtained results revealed that: Concerning sugar beet. pure plant stand ofsugar beet showed significant higher values for root length, root diameter, fresh root yield/plant and per feddan, top length and fresh top yield per feddan. Values obtained for the previous characters affected by the two intercropping patterns were less than those obtained in case of solid planting and these differences were mostly significant.
