| Abstract | |
This work was carried out at UNESP, Jaboticabal-SP, in two times of cultivation, July to November of 2001 and February to August of 2002, with objective to evaluate the productivity of tomato and lettuce crops in intercropping, in function of the time of establishment of intercropping (time of lettuce’s transplanting). Nine treatments were evaluated, with the intercropping and monoculture of lettuce at zero, 14, 28 and 42 days after the transplant of tomato. The cultivars of tomato and lettuce were, respectively, Debora Max and Vera. The commercial productivity of tomato, as well as the classification of tomato fruits were influenced by the presence of the lettuce. However, the productivity of the lettuce was smaller in the intercropping cultivation and so much than later was the transplant of the lettucein relation to tomato crop. The intercropping established with the transplant of the lettuce over to 14 days affter transplant of tomato showed the best results according to index of Efficient Use of the Land. (AU) | |
