| Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of intercropping
system on some vegetables nutrient uptake in Adana ecological
conditions. The experimental research was conducted under
field conditions and at the plant physiology laboratory of the
Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture of Cukurova
University during 2003-2005. In the first year of this work, cauliflower
and broccoli, in the second year cauliflower, cabbage and
lettuce were used as main crop. Lettuce, pea, leek, garlic and
onion were used as intercrops in the first year; green bean, pea,
radish, leek, garlic and onion were used as intercrops in the second
year. In general, it can be said that the vegetables cropped solely
uptaked more mineral contents while for those grown by intercropping
and competitions were determined in intercropped systems. |
