Abstract: This study, "Performance of Four Promising Varie ties of Cabbage Intercropped with Tomato was conducted in the experimental field of the Don Severino Agricultural College from November 1981 to January 1982. It aimed to determine the effect of intercropping tomato on the yield and growth of cabbage and to determine the incidence of pest and diseases on cabbage crop. A 120—square meter field was used for the purpose. Four varieties of cabbage (KK—Cross, Chinese, Copenhagen, and CM) and Apollo variety of tomato were used as planting materials in the study. The split—plot in Randomized Complete Block Design with eight treatments was used in this experiment. The crops were planted simultaneously at a distance Of 60 60 centimeters apart on elevated 1% by 3 meters Plot. Before planting the crops, one wheelbarrow of chicken manure for every plot was mixed thoroughly with the soil. The results on average number and weight of marketable cabbage heads without tomato intercrops varied significantly between varieties but non significantly in the intercropped system. The significant differences in the yield of cabbage in varieties without intercrops may be attributed to the yielding characteristics of the different varieties of cabbage used. While the non—significant results in the yield of different varieties of cabbage in the inter— cropped may be due to the very thick leaf canopy characteristics of the tomato plants affecting adversely the growth and yield of the main crop regardless of the variety. Based on the results of the study, intercropping cabbage with Apollo variety of tomato is not advisable. However, other varieties of tomato which produce thinner leaf canopy and lesser branches as intercrop for cabbage may give different results.
