Abstract

In order to evaluate yield and yield components in intercropping barley with vetch, a two-year field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Station of Miandoab. The arrangement consisted of 9 mixing treatments with densities of 200 Vetch plant + 300 Barley plant, 200 Vetch plant + 500 Barley plant, 200 Vetch plant + 700 Barley plant, 400 Vetch plant + 300 Barley plant, 400 Vetch plant + 500 Barley plant, 400 Vetch plant + 700 Barley plant, 600 Vetch plant + 300 Barley plant, 600 Vetch plant + 500 Barley and 600 Vetch plant + 700 Barley plant per square meter and sole culture of both crops. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with four replications. The result showed The highest spikes per square meter, thousand kernel weight, biological yield, and grain yield in barley were observed in the sole culture of barley. Also, the highest plant height, number of seeds per plant, thousand kernel weight, biological yield, and grain yield in vetch belonged to the sole culture of vetch. However, the highest Land equivalent ratio (LER) belonged to treatments of 200 Vetch plants + 500 Barley plants by 1.49,
