Yield and yield components of mung bean in sole cropping and intercropping with millet was
studied at the Agricultural Farm of Bu-Ali University. Randomized complete block design with six
treatments (sole cropping of mung bean and additive intercropping of 8, 16, 24, 32 and 40 millet plant/m2
with mung bean) and three replications was used. Results showed that all traits were significantly
affected by experimental treatments. The highest and the lowest of traits of biological yield, grain
yield, number of seeds per pod and number of pod per plant were achieved at sole cropping of
mung bean and additive intercropping of 40 millet plant/m2 with mung bean, respectively. However,
there was no significant difference between sole cropping of mung bean and additive intercropping 24
millet plant/m2 with mung bean. Also, results indicated that with increasing millet density in the
bean’s field from 8 to 40 plant/m2, grain and biological yield of millet increased significantly.
Therefore, it seems that additive intercropping of millet with mung bean not only increased total
yield, but also increased land use efficiency.
