<br/><br/> The study "Intercropping Gabi with Bush Sitao and Corn, was conducted at the Root Crops Center of the Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite from May 1982 to January 1983 to determine the effect of intercropping gabi with bush sitao and corn.<br/>Randomized complete block design (RCBD) was used in the experiment.<br/>An area of 252 square meters was plowed and harrowed twice to keep the soil in good condition for planting. The area was divided into twelve blocks constituting three replications and four treatments. The treatments were: 'Treatment 1 (gabi planted alone), Treatment 2 (gabi intercropped with corn), Treatment 3 (gabi intercropped with bush sitao) and Treatment 4 (gabi intercropped with bush sitao and corn). The planting was done on May 28, 19820 Corms of gabi were planted at a distance of 75 corns between furrows and 90 cms. between plants in the row. Seeds of corn and bush sitao were intercropped between gabi plants.<br/>Gabi planted without intercrops cave a slightly heavier tuber than those plants with intercrops. With these findings, it is suggested that gabi plants should not be intercropped if one desires high yield 0 However, in cases where spaces are limited) growing gabi with corn and bush sitao can also be done owing to the return offered by bush sitao and corn as intercrops<br/>
