- Abstract
Intercropping properly executed can result in many benefits to the agroecosystem and the farmer. The aim was to evaluate phytotechnical aspects of radish and lettuce intercropped in West Goiás. Four intercropping systems (with 8 lettuce plants and 20, 40, 60 and 80 radish plants, respectively, C I, C II, C III and C IV) were compared to the lettuce monoculture (16 plants) and radish (80 plants) by square meter. The design was a randomized block design with four replications. The diameter, length and average mass of radish roots; the average stem diameter, number of leaves and average mass of the aerial part of lettuce plants and the productivity of both cultures were evaluated. We calculated the land equivalent ratio (IEA). The consortium did not affect the size and average weight of radish roots, however, the C I productivity (0.46 kg.m-2) was lower than C III (1.97 kg·m-2), C IV (2.25 kg·m-2) and monoculture (2.05 kg·m-2). To lettuce crop, there was statistical difference only in productivity, which was higher in the system in monoculture (2.84 kg·m-2). Only the consortium II (0.82) had less IEA than the monoculture (1.0). The consortiums have a potential use by horticulturists in this region.
