Abstract
Afield experiment was conducted in the autumn agricultural season (2020) in Kirkuk
governorate, Hawija district, Ghazieh village, in a sandy alluvial texture soil. The study included two
factors one was intercropping system ( sesame alone ) and( mung alone ) (1 sesame row +1 mung
row ) and (2 sesame row +2 mung row ) and (3 mung row + 3 sesame row) and (2 sesame row + 4
mung row) The second factor was fertilizers combination of (0 N+ 0 P), (N 80 + P 30 ), ( N80 + P60
) and (N160 + P 30) (N 160 + P60 kg h-1 ) The experiment was carried out as randomized complete
block design (RCBD) with three replicates. The results showed significant differences between the
treatments in all studied traits of sesame, Wheres as observed superiority of the intercropping system
in all the studied traits unless plant height in which was superior in single planting at fertilizer
combinedof (30 P + 80 N) kg. h-1 on all system of intercropping which was (149.33) cm , Also there
were significant differences between the interaction of the mung which shwoed superiority of
intercropping treatment in all studied unless weight of (300) grains , While there werent differences
for intercropping systems
