Abstract

Background & Objective: Intercropping increases production, soil fertility and soil erosion control and generally the optimal use of resources. Thus, different morphological traits, grain yield and the evaluation indexes were evaluated.
Materials & Methods: Different patterns of Partial Additive intercropping included: 1) intercropping with 50% ratio of basil mobarake cultivar at optimal density of monoculture and optimal density of bean, 2): basil mobarake cultivar 75% and optimal density of bean, 3) basil mobarake cultivar 100% and optimal density of bean, 4) basil tailandi cultivar 50% and optimal density of bean, 5) basil tailandi cultivar 75% and optimal density of bean, 6) basil tailandi cultivar 100% and optimal density of bean, 7) bean monoculture, 8) basil mobarake cultivar monoculture, 9) basil tailandi cultivar monoculture
Results: Results showed the highest yield of bean and basil was recorded in monoculture and highest dry weight, fresh weight, percentage and essential oil yield of basil were observed recorded in monoculture of basil tailandi cultivar at the first harvesting under different intercropping pattern.
Conclusion: According to the Land Equivalent Ratio and Total Relative Value, pattern of optimal bean density and 100% basil tailandi cultivar density was superior than other patterns and more beneficial than monocultures.
