Abstract
An experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2005 at Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to evaluate the effect of intercropped vegetables on maize and weed growth in maize + vegetable intercropping systems. Vegetables viz., cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.), frenchbean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) were included as intercrops in maize at 1:1, 1:2 and 1:5 row proportion. Vegetables did not influence leaf area index, kernel yield, stover yield and harvest index of maize in 1:1 and 1:2 row proportion. Intercropping systems recorded higher MEY and productivity (kg/ha/day). Among the intercropping systems, maize + cowpea and maize + frenchbean recorded the lowest weed population and weed dry weight and highest weed control efficiency. The lowest WCE was found with maize + coriander intercropping system
