Background and Objective: Iintercropping can be considered as one of the ways to increasing the yield and production stability per unit area. So, this experiment in order to investigate yield components and yield as well as competition indices in triticale and winter vetch intercropping under different tillage systems done.
Materials and Methods: The experiment was conducted as a split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the Bu-Ali Sina University. Three tillage levels (conventional, reduced and no tillage) were set as main plot and five planting patterns) sole cropping of winter wetch (M) and triticale (T) and intercropping of 50T+50M, 67T+33M and 33T+67M) were considered as sub plot.
Results: Results showed that tillage and planting pattern had a significant effect on number of spikes per m-2, number of seeds per spike, 1000-seed weight and biological and grain yield in triticale. Also, such significant impact was recorded for the number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, 100-seed weight and biological and grain yield in winter vetch. The highest grain yield for triticale and winter vetch was relvealed at sole cropping under conventional tillage. Highest LER (1.30) and RCC (4.60) were obtained from 50T+50M treatment. The positive values of the aggressivity and the higher values of the competition ratios in 50T+50M treatment for triticale indicates the competitive superiority of triticale over winter vetch or better using of inputs in intercropping. Actual yield loss and intercropping advantage were positive in triticale and winter vetch.
Conclusion: Therefore, by estimating the competitive indices in order to evaluate the ststuse of the two species in the intercropping, it was determined that in the different intercropping treatments, therewas no actual yeild loss which shows the superiority of intercropping over the sole cultivation of the two species. So, planting patterns of 50T+50M in addition to creating biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability, causes maximum productivity of the land. |
