Abstract

In order to study the intercropping of Roselle and Peanut, an experiment has done in crop year 1021-1022 on the training and research institutes’ farm of the Zabol University for crushed Crete in the form of completely random blocks plan with three times repetition. The main factors are 0, 200, 100 and 100 kg of nitrogen fertilizer in a hectare and the subsidiary factors are intercropping alternative systems containing net Roselle, net peanut, 10 percent Roselle + 10 percent peanut 51 percent Roselle + 11 percent peanut, 11 percent Roselle + 51 percent peanut. The results indicated that the land Equivalent ratio (LER) is more than one at all the intercropping treatments (LER< 2). It shows that intercropping has excelled net Roselle and net peanut. The most land Equivalent ratio (LER>2751) has been achieved in the treatment consuming 100 kg nitrogen fertilizer in a hectare for intercropping with 11 percent Roselle + 51 percent peanut. Other competitive indicators measurements (dominance, relative clash and competition) indicated that Roselle with more economical operation than the others had more competitive and offensive ability than peanut. Statistically, nitrogen and cultivation systems impact and also interaction between the both of them, the number of side branch, the number of flowers, plant dry weight, the amount of anthocyanin’s, leaflet dry weight, removal index of Roselle, the number of pods in a bush, the number of seeds in a pod, the weight of 200 seeds, bush dry weight, economical and biological operation and removal index of peanut have been meaningful. The most economical operation (2447124 kg in a hectare) has been achieved in the treatment consuming 100 kg nitrogen fertilizer in a hectare for intercropping with 51 percent Roselle + 11 percent peanut.
