Abstract
The performance of mungbean intercropped in sesame under different geometric arrangements was determined o sandy-clay loam soil at the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad for two consecutive years (2001-02). The planting patterns consisted of 40 cm spaced single rows, 60 cm spaced 2-row strips and 100 cm spaced 4-row strips while mungbean was intercropped in all the three planting patterns and also grown as a sole crop. The results evinced that planting sesame in 100 cm spaced 4-row strips explored the possibility of intercropping in sesame. It not only permitted convenient intercropping but also facilitated the harvesting and handling of intercrops without doing any damage to the base crop. Intercropping sesame with mungbean in the pattern of 100 cm spaced 4-row strips appeared to be more convenient, productive and profitable than the monocropped sesame.
