A study was undertaken during rainy season 1995 and 1996 at Shalimar campus on silty clay-loam soils to assess the effect of various row ratios on productivity and competition functions in cereal-Iegume intercropping system. The intercropping of maize (Zea mays L.) with field bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in a row ratio of 1 :2 recorded maximum land-equivalent ratio (1.61 ), area-time equivalent ratio (1.48), monetary advantage index (As, 19,202/ha) and aggressivity index (0.69), resulting in significantly highest maize equivalent (78.8) q/ha) along with yield attributes among all intercropping systems. This intercropping system also proved profitable with highest benefit: cost ratio (1.87).
