Abstract: BERGANIO, MILAGROS L., University of the Philippines at Los Bafios, October 1985. Effects of Corn (Zea mays L.) and Legume (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek, Arachis hypogaea L.) Intercrops on Crop Productivity and Soil Erosion in Hilly Land. Major Professor: Dr. Andres F. Celestino. A two-cropping study on the influence of corn and legumes (mungbean and peanut) on crop productivity and soil erosion in hilly land was conducted in an area with 31% slope in Campangga, Barili, Cebu from May 1984 to January 1985. The effects of corn ‘IPB Var 1', mungbean 'Pagasa 3' and peanut 'UPL-Pn2' planted as monocrops or as intercrops in one-to-one and two-to-two row planting combinations were evaluated. Randomized complete block design with three replications was used. During the wet season, mungbean had poor growth and low pod setting. Peanut was viny, had low pod formation and lower yield than the dry season planting (first cropping). Productivity per unit area of intercropping was generally higher than the monoculture check. Corn intercropped with mungbean in 2:2 row planting pattern gave the highest LER of 1.62 during the first cropping followed by 1:1 corn + mungbean and 1:1 corn + peanut with LER of 1.41 and 1.29, respectively. In _the second cropping, no significant differences in LER among the cropping patterns. Soil loss from corn intercropped with mungbean or peanut at 1:1 row planting pattern was lower than that of the 2:2 row planting pattern and the monocrops. The 1:1 corn + peanut planting pattern minimized soil erosion better than 1:1 corn + mungbean.

A two-cropping study on the influence of corn and legumes (mungbean and peanut) on crop productivity and soil erosion in hilly land was conducted in an area with 31% slope in Campangga, Barili, Cebu from May 1984 to January 1985.

The effects of corn ‘IPB Var 1', mungbean 'Pagasa 3' and peanut 'UPL-Pn2' planted as monocrops or as intercrops in one-to-one and two-to-two row planting combinations were evaluated. Randomized complete block design with three replications was used.

During the wet season, mungbean had poor growth and low pod setting. Peanut was viny, had low pod formation and lower yield than the dry season planting (first cropping).

Productivity per unit area of intercropping was generally higher than the monoculture check. Corn intercropped with mungbean in 2:2 row planting pattern gave the highest LER of 1.62 during the first cropping followed by 1:1 corn + mungbean
and 1:1 corn + peanut with LER of 1.41 and 1.29, respectively. In _the second cropping, no significant differences in LER among the cropping patterns.

Soil loss from corn intercropped with mungbean or peanut at 1:1 row planting pattern was lower than that of the 2:2 row planting pattern and the monocrops. The 1:1 corn + peanut planting pattern minimized soil erosion better than 1:1 corn + mungbean.
