Effect of Irrigation on Intercropping Systems of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with Pea (Pisum sativum L.)

Intercropping is an old and commonly used agricultural practice involves the cultivation of two or more crops in same area land at time may improve yield, use environmental resources, product quality, soil health. The objective present study was to effect water availability wheat-pea intercrops using agronomic physiological characteristics. experiment conducted farm Aristotle University Thessaloniki, Greece during growing seasons 2017–2018 2018–2019 different cultivars from pea (Isard Olympos) wheat (Yecora E Elissavet) irrigation regimes. increased grain yield affected most characteristics that were studied. In terms total Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) there a advantage over monocrops, which indicates efficiency intercropping for resources. Both cultivars, cultivar Olympos their indicated high adaptation capacity rainfed conditions, whereas Isard its performed better under irrigation. Therefore, with uses resources environment efficiently can be dry conditions higher yield.
