Abstract

The performance of five peanut varieties (Economic Garden Red, Fanti No. 17, Tirik, Lung Tao You and Yuan Yung Tou) in pure stand and intercropped with corn, was tested for two seasons.

Lung Tao You gave the highest yield of seeds and number of pods per plant. the pure stand of peanut (population of 142,857 plants per hectare) gave higher seed yield per ploy, more and heavier pods and higher seed yield (by weight) per plant than peanut intercropped with corn. With intercropping these characters increased in magnitude with decreasing density of both crops.

Grain yield of corn was not significantly decreased by intercropping. The intercropped peanut plants were taller than those in pure stand.
