Abstract
A field experiment was established to evaluate the effect of intercropping Chinese garlic with fennel, coriander or caraway plants on the growth, yield, oil content and economic return of these species. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of the Desert Development Center, American University in Cairo (DOC, AUC) in South Tahrir during the two successive seasons of 1999/2000 and 2000/2001. The obtained results showed that, the growth characters (No. of branches & leaves/plant, fresh & dry weights/plant, No. of cloves/bulb & umbels/plant, clove weight and weight of 100 fruits) of intercropped plants were significantly decreased by intercropping, while the plant height of fennel, coriander or caraway was slightly increased. Intercropping significantly decreased the yield of each crop as compared to the pure stand treatments of each one. On contrary, the intercropping treatments increased the productivity/feddan (net profit) than pure stand treatments, except intercropping Chinese garlic with fennel, which produced less monetary return than pure stand of Chinese garlic. Essential oil percentage of Chinese garlic tended to decrease due to intercropping, while it was not affected in fennel, coriander or caraway. The main components of essential oil of studied plants were not substantially affected by intercropping treatments. However, land equivalent ratio was greater than one. Intercropping Chinese garlic with coriander is recommended to obtain the highest value of land equivalent ratio and land usage, followed by caraway and fennel, respectively.
