Abstract

In order to evaluate corn-squash intercropping and the effect on weed control, an experiment was conduced at College of Agriculture, Research Station of Shiraz University in 2004. The experimental design was a split-plot one in randomized complete block with three replications. Main factors consisted of non-weedy (w) and weedy (W) treatments while sub factors being consisted of sole crop of corn (M), sole crop of squash (C), 100% corn + 100% squash (MC), 50% corn + 50% sqaush (mc), 100% corn + 50% squash (Mc), 50% corn + 100% squash (mC). Photosyntetically Active Radiation (PAR), corn biological and grain yield, weed biomass and Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) were assessed. Results indicated that intercropping treatments had significant effects on PAR interception. Intercrop of MC exerted the highest PAR interception as compared to other treatments. Weeding had significantly effected corn grain yield as well as biological yield. Intercropping increased corn grain yield, biological yield and squash fruit yield. Comparing the performance of sole crop and intercropping treatments, results indicated that intercroppings were more advantageous in terms of weed control. Weed suppression effects in intercropping combination were higher than the effects in corn and squash sole crops. The MC and mC were better treatment combinations in this respect. The LER for the most intercropping treatments was greater than unity, indicating that intercropping had its advantage over sole crop. On the average, MC presented the highest LER as compared to the other intercropping treatments and exhibited a greater potential of suppressing weeds and PAR interception.
