Solid versus intercropping sesame with groundnut at different sequences of sowing dates : II- groundnut yield and yield components [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Two field experiments were conducted at Experimental Farm of El-Bostan, Faculty of Agriculture, Damanhour, Alexandria University during 2000 and 2001 summer seasons. The two experiments were designed to determine the optimum planting date and the convenient sequence of planting groundnut and sesame when both were intercropped together. Two sesame varieties (Giza 25 and Giza 32) were intercropped with a groundnut variety (G.5) at two sowing dates (April 15th and May 15th) for each crop as well as growing groundnut as sole crop under the two same sowing dates. This resulted in six cropping patterns. A split-plot design with four replications was used. The two sesame varieties occupied the main plots while the six cropping pattern treatments were arranged in sub-plots. The data obtained indicated that the two sesame varieties didn't affect groundnut seed yield and yield components except for-number of pods per plant, in the first season and number of double - seed pods per plant in both growing seasons.
