Abstract |
: |
To assess the arid lands field crop potential, a field experiments were performed at the King Abdulaziz University Agricultural Research Station located at Hada Al-Sham during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. To maximize productivity the returns per unit area Barley and Mungbean intercropping in 5 patterns were studied under 3 nitrogen fertilizer rates in a split plot design with 4 replicates. Nitrogen fertilizer rates were 100 ,150 and 200 kg N/ha allocated in the main plots while the sub plots were allocated with 5 intercropping patterns named : 4 barley : 1 mungbean, 4 barley : 2 mungbean, 4 barley : 3 mungbean besides barley and mungbean as sole crops. For each crop plant height, fresh plant yield,dry plant yield,seed yield/ha of mungbean, grain yield/ha of barley and protein contents in plants and seeds were recorded. Land Equivalent Ratio values were determined under the different intercropping patterns.
The main results showed that as nitrogen fertilizer rate increased plant and seed yields/ha and protein contents in plants, seed and grain significantly increased in both crops. Compoaring the intercropping patterns showed significantly increased that the treatment of 4 barley: 3 mungbean under 200 kgN/ha produced the highest values of mungbean plant height, plant fresh and dry yield/ha, seed yield/ha (0.49t/ha and 0.56 t/ha), plant protein (19.395 and 17.86%) and seed protein (27.125 and 27.03%) in 2012 and 2013 seasons, respectively. For barley the intercropping pattern 4 barley: 1mungbean was superior in all studied traits comparing with the other intercropping patterns in both seasons. Plant fresh and yield/ha were 4.27 t/ha and 4.44 t/ha, barley grain yields/ha were 1.57 t/ha and 1.81 t/ha in both seasons, respectively. As for total yield of both crops, the intercropping patterns 4 barley:1 mungbean under 200 kg N/ha produced the highest yields compared with the sole or other intercropping patterns treatments.
Total fresh yield were 4.85 and 5.08 t/ha and the total dry yield were 2.46 and 2.67 t/ha in the first and second seasons, respectively. The intercropping pattern 4 barley: 1mungbean was the highest in land equivalent rates especially under the lowest nitrogen rate with LER valve 4.59. |
