A study of the intercropping of ampalaya with either tomato, mungbean, and soybean was conducted to determine the possibility of intercropping these crops and its effect to soil fertility. Results showed that the number of days to flowering, number of days to maturity, number of non-marketable fruits, and yield of ampalaya were not affected significantly by the kind of intercrop. Combined money value of the main crop and the intercrop was highly significant. Two common insect pests were observed, these were squash bug and green aphids. Squash bug infest both ampalaya and mungbean while green aphids infest both ampalaya and soybean. Dramatic effect on soil fertility was also noted.
