Abstract
Abstract An experiment was conducted out in Nursery of Baquba/Agriculture Department, Diyala in Autumn season of 2009-2010. The aim was to investigate the intercropping between beans Vicia faba, onion Allium cepa, garlic Allium sativum, and the best agriculture periods for the quantitative characteristics in fields. Three crops were planted in four dates, 15/9, 1/10, 15/10 and 30/10/2009. The crops were set out in rows width one meter, in three parts: Bean alone (monoculture) on both sides of the rows, the bean in side and onion in opposite side, and the bean in side and garlic in other side. Both garlic and onion were brought from the local market. The percent and period of germination bean seeds, the period between germination until flowering starting, the mean of height of plant, the mean of branches/plant, the weight of fresh and dry yield Kg/m2, have been conducted. The data was statically analysis, as variance (ANOVA) test in factorial design experiments. The mean of the results was compared with least of significant differences level of 0.05. The results indicated that the best period of planted were bean interference with onion and garlic on first and middle of October. The differences were significant comparing with date of middle August and the end of October for all the investigated characteristics. Whereas the earlier date of planted was significant, comparing with the most of other characteristics, except for period of germination percentage. The results were showed very strong relationships between bean intercropping with onion and garlic in style of agriculture in most of characteristics study. The conclusions were indicated that planted broad bean with onion and garlic was the best manner for production per unit area in agricultural aims, comparing with monocular bean alone, but the intercropping plants may be required more effort and service than monocular culturing.
