Abstract
This work was can•ied out at the Experimental Farm of Kafr El Sheikh, Faculty of Agriculture during the winter seasons of 1995/96and
1996/97.
It aimed to study the effect of transplanting date of lettuce,
._., intercropping system and their interaction on vegetative growth, yield and its quality and chemical analysis in leaves of cabbage (Brunswick cv.) and lettuce (Balady cv.) . Competitive relationships, yield advantage, net return and monetary advantage for both crops were also computed.
The experiment included 16 treatments which were the combination of three transplanting dates of lettuce and four intercropping systems between cabbage and lettuce in addition to, three control treatments with the different transplanting dates for pure stand of lettuce and one control treatment for pure stand of cabbage.
Transplanting dates of lettuce seedlings were: October lOll! (at the same time of cabbage transplanting), October 25!!! (15 days latte) and
November 1 olh (30 days latter).
Intercropping systems were:
System!: Lettuce was planted on the northern side and cabbage on the southern side of the same ridge.
System2: Lettuce was planted on both sides and cabbage on the southern side of the same ridge alternatively with lettuce within the row.
System3: Lettuce was planted on both sides and cabbage on the top ofthe same ridge.
System4: Lettuce and cabbage were planted on both sides of the ridge alternatively with each other within the rows.
ln addition, there were solid lettuce treatments (lettuce was planted on both sides of the ridge) and solid cabbage treatment (cabbage was planted on the southern side of the ridge).
