Abstract
The possibility of intercropping peanut in sunflower was explored at Hyderabad in India to maximize the production of oilseeds and oil. Peanut density of 333,333 plants/ha was intercropped in equidistant, paired, or skipped rows of sunflower each at a plant population of 55,555; 66,666 and 74,074 plants/ha. Sunflower and peanut yields were reduced in different intercrop treatments. But, the total oilseed production showed substantial improvement. Peanut intercropping in paired or skipped rows of sunflower with 55,555 or 74,074 plants/ha maximized the total oilseed production and oil yield while maintaining significant superiority over the sole crops.
