Abstract
A field study to determine the feasibility of canola-based intercropping systems was carried out at Agronomic Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during 1999-2000 and 2000-2001. The treatments were canola alone, canola + one row of wheat, canola + two rows of wheat, canola + one row of gram, canola + two rows of gram, canola + one row of lentil, canola + two rows of lentil, canola + one row of linseed and canola + two rows of linseed. All the intercrops significantly reduced the yield components, seed and oil yield of canola as compared to canola alone. Maximum reduction in seed yield of canola was observed when it was intercropped with two rows of wheat. Net field benefits were highest in the treatment canola + one row of wheat (Rs. 43125 ha-1), which was 18.11 % more than the canola alone.
