Abstract
Intercropping is an innovative and sustainable classic agricultural practice that can strengthen and stabilize agro-ecosystems under changing climate through optimizing resource use efficiency and enhancing productivity by cropping diversity. The experiment was conducted at Kuakata, Patuakhali and Amtali, Borguna villages during winter (Rabi) seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22 to determine the yield and profitability for intercropping of mungbean and sesame on coastal saline soils. Four combinations viz., T1 = 100% mungbean sown in rows (30 cm × 5 cm) + broadcasting of sesame at 50% of recommended seed rate, T2 = 100% mungbean in rows (30 cm × 5 cm) + broadcasting of sesame at 25% of the recommended seed rate, T3 = sole crop of mungbean in row (30 cm × 5 cm) (100% mungbean) and T4 = Sole crop of sesame in row (30 cm x 5 cm) (100% sesame) were evaluated at each location. Sole mungbean and sesame offered higher yields than each crop in the intercropping combinations at both locations. Intercropping increased mungbean equivalent yield (MEY) and land equivalent ratio (LER) compared to sole cropping. Over the locations, the highest MEY (2.33 t ha-1), LER (2.09), and benefit: cost ratio (1.88) were obtained from T1 (100% mungbean in rows of 30 cm × 5 cm + 50% sesame by broadcasting). However, mungbean yield was higher in the plots of intercropped 100% mungbean sown in rows (30 cm × 5 cm) with broadcasted 25% sesame seeds (T2: 1.65-1.69 t ha-1 compared to the intercropping with 50% broadcasted sesame seeds (T1: 1.24-1.25 t ha-1). In the case of sesame intercropping, 50% seeding rate (T1) offered a higher seed yield over 25% seeding rate (T2). Therefore, intercropping of sesame with mungbean (100% mungbean sown in rows (30 cm × 5 cm) + broadcasting of sesame at 50% of recommended seed rate) could be an excellent option for increasing system productivity and income for coastal farmers of Bangladesh.
