Intercropping potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) with suitable
crops might improve yield and profit for small-scale producers.
Effective energy use in subsistence agriculture is necessary for
sustainable production because it provides financial savings
and preserves resources. Potato was intercropped with radish
(Raphanus sativus L.) or spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), and each
component was also grown in monocrop, in a field experiment
during Sept. 2008–Jan. 2009 under irrigation. Intercropping
radish and spinach with potato increased potato equivalent
yield over monocropped potato. Potato + spinach had a higher
land equivalent ratio (1.78) and area time equivalent ratio
(1.29) than the potato + radish intercrop, which had a higher
relative net return (3.28) and benefit : cost ratio (6.38).
Monocropped radish had the highest net energy return,
energy ratio, energy productivity, and energy profitability.
Potato + radish had higher energy input and output and
energy intensiveness than other cropping systems. Radish
and spinach can be intercropped with potato for efficient use
of land and higher economic return; monocropped radish may
be more profitable and energy efficient than other crop
combinations
