In order to evaluate the comparison of different intercropping patterns of dill (Anethun graveolens L.) with fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) on quantitative yield and essential oil content of dill, a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications and eight treatment at the farm located in West Azerbaijan province, Nagadeh, Iran during growing reason of 2011-2012. Treatments included row intercropping (one row of fenugreek + one row of dill), strip intercropping (two rows of dill + one rows of fenugreek, three rows of dill+ one rows of fenugreek, two rows of fenugreek + one rows of dill, three rows of fenugreek + one rows of dill, two rows of fenugreek + two of dill) and monoculture dill and fenugreek. The results showed that intercropping patterns had significant effect on seed yield, biological yield and essential oil content of dill. The highest seed yield and biological yield of dill were achieved in three rows of dill+ one rows of fenugreek with 860 and 4816.67 kg.ha-1, respectively. The lowest grain yield and biological yield of dill were achieved in three rows of fenugreek+ one rows of dill with 516.7 and 3119.33 kg.ha-1, respectively. The essential oil percentage of all treatments was higher than monoculture.
