Abstract
An experinient on the performance of wheat - grasspea intcrcropping at
different fertilizer dose (100 and 120% of recommended dose for wheat) and seed
rates of grasspea (100%. 80%. 60%, 40% and 20%) was conducted at the Agronomy
Field, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University. Dhaka-1207 during the period from
December, 2005 to March. 2006. The experiment was laid out in a randomized
complete block design with three replications. Significantly higher yields of wheat
(3.00 - 3.0$ I/ha) were obtained with wheat, wheat 100% ± grasspea 20%

fertilizer
100% and wheat 100%

grasspea 100% + fertilizer 120% treatments. Significantly
the highest fodder yield (1.47 (/ha) was obtained with the treatment of wheat 100% +
grasspea 100% + fertilizer 120%, The best land equivaleni ratio (LER), benefit: cost
ratio (13CR) and tolal net return were 1.96, 1.558 and 14466.50 Tk./ha respectively
and these were obtained with the treatment of wheat 100% + grasspea 100% +
fertilizer 120%. So, fodder grasspea may be intercropped with wheat using the
recommended seed rate under 120% recommended fertilizer dose of wheat.
