Abstract
A field study was undertaken to investigate the growth and yield of cucumber and okra grown in an intercropped system. Okra as 1-row or 2-row was intercropped with cucumber. Sole cropping of okra resulted in higher number of fruits plant-1, yield plant-1 and yield hectare' though the differences in these values and 1-row okra intercrop were not significant. Intercropping okra with cucumber resulted in reduced weed infestation, especially of broadleaf weeds. Land equivalent ratio (LER), 2.4 and 2.2 for one row okra and two rows okra intercrop, respectively showed that intercropping was more beneficial than sole cropping.
