Abstract
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a cereal crop with high adaptability, more resistant to drought, and has the potential to be developed as an alternative crop for food, feed and industrial needs. However, planting sorghum is rarely done because of its lower economic value than other crops. In this experiment, sorghum was intercropped with peanuts. This study aims to determine the growth and yield of three varieties of peanuts planted in intercropping with sorghum and to observe the land equivalent ratio (LER) of peanuts and sorghum intercropping. A randomized block design (RBD) was used in this experiment with 7 treatments: peanut varieties Hypoma, Takar and Tuban on intercropping with Samurai sorghum, monocrop Hypoma, Takar, Tuban and Samurai. Each treatment was repeated 3 times, there were 21 plot treatments. The results showed that peanuts grown in monocrop had higher growth and yields compared to peanuts in intercropping with sorghum, while sorghum planted in intercropping with peanuts showed no significant difference on growth and yield with its monocrop. Peanut variety showed the best growth and yield was Takar, both in monocrop and intercrop and based on the LER, intercropping peanuts with sorghum is beneficial, giving LER value of more than 1.
