Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at Tag El-Ezz Research Station, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt, during 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons to determine the effect of some preceding summer crops (rice, maize and soybean) and faba bean intercropping systems i.e. intercropping faba bean with sugar beet in row on the back (middle) of the bed (2 plants/hill) at 30, 40 and 50 cm between hills on sugar beet cv. Sultan yields and its components and quality parameters. Each preceding summer crop was performed in separate experiment. Each experiment of preceding summer crops was carried out in randomized complete block design with four replications. The obtained results showed that sugar beet and faba bean preceded by soybean were superior in all studied characters, expect quality traits of sugar beet. Faba bean intercropped at 50 cm between hills of sugar beet resulted in the highest yields and its components, while faba bean intercropped at 30 cm resulted in the highest quality parameter in both seasons. Intercropping faba bean in middle of sugar beet beds of 120 cm width and 50 cm between hills was superior in number of branches, seed yield/plant and 100-seed weight, whereas the highest values of plant height and seed yield/fad were recorded with 30 cm between hills. The highest values of land equivalent ratio and total income (LE 9198.8 and 13604.4) were attained with growing both crops after soybean with intercropping faba bean with sugar beet at 30 cm between hills in the first and second season, respectively. It can be concluded that faba bean intercropped at 30 cm between sugar beet hills, after soybean crop to achieve maximum productivity and quality of both crops in addition highest land equivalent ratio and total income under conditions of Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt.
