Abstract
Abstract Okra (Abelmoschus esculentusL.) cv. ‘Balady’, that is monocropped over 5-6 months in Upper Egypt usually grows slowly in the first 5-7 weeks. There is no information available on whether a secondary summer vegetable can be produced within main crop okra rows. In the present study, okra was planted on April 1,2004 and April 7,2005 at 40 cm within-row spaces on 70-cm wide rows. Cowpea or cucumber was planted at mid-distance between okra hills either simultaneously with okra (April 1, 2004 and April 7, 2005) or later after growing okra (April 27, 2004 and April 28, 2005). Sole crop treatments were also involved. Data indicated that okra-cowpea intercropping did not affect okra pod yield. Cowpea, on average, produced 257 kg·ha−1 dry seed yield when planted simultaneously or 3 weeks after planting okra. Calculated “aggressiveness” indicated that okra was the dominant crop. Land equivalent ratio (LER) of okra-cowpea intercropping was, on average, 1.2 for both years. With regard to cucumber, fruit yield was produced only when it was planted simultaneously with okra. Okra-cucumber intercropping based on simultaneous planting of both crops depressed okra pod yield to 90% of its monocropped yield. Intercropped cucumber yield as percent of sole culture was 60%. “Aggressiveness” showed that cucumber was the dominant crop. LER of okra-cucumber intercropping, on average, was 1.5 when both crops were simultaneously planted.
