An experiment was carried out at Research Farm, NWFP, Agricultural University, Peshawar during 1986-87 to study the yield and yield components of wheat and Safflower sown alone and in combination under different planting patterns. Number of tillers per plant, number of grains per spike, 1000 grains weight and harvest index were not significantly increased in case of wheat crop. However grain yield (2471.5 kg/ha) and straw yield (8670.5 kg/ha) were increased in mono culture as compared with inter cropping. The number of grains/head, 1000 grains weight and grain yield of safflower was significantly increased in mono safflower, while head diameter and oil content was not significantly affected by various planting patterns. highest cost benefit ratio, net income from different rows strips were found economical. High gross profitability clearly showed the superiority of 3 rows strip of wheat and safflower in inter cropping over each sole cropping.
