Abstract
The experiment was conducted during 2015/16 main rainy season in Burie District, North Western Ethiopia with an objective of evaluating the potential of lupine relay intercropping with different density and rely time of lupine in teff. Factorial combinations of 3 relay intercropping time(after 4,6,and 8 weeks of teff sowing),2 inter-row spacing (40cm and 60cm) and 2 intra-row spacing of lupine (20cm and 30cm), totally 12 treatment combinations, and 2 sole cropping of teff and lupine were laid out in randomized complete block design at three replications. The collected was subjected to ANOVA using SAS (9.2) software. LER and MAI were calculated to evaluate the yield advantage of lupine relay intercropping for which the highest LER (1.62) and MAI (20402.42 birr/ha) was obtained from early intercropping accompanied with narrower intra and inter row spacing of lupine.

Highlights
White Lupine belongs to genes and species Lupinus albus L. and family Leguminosae, the third largest family (EFSA, 2005)
3.1 Effect of Planting Density and Time of Lupine Relay Intercropping in Teff on the Vegetative Growth of lupine Plant height The height of lupine plant was highly significantly (P
The other possible reason could be shading and lodging effect of teff over lupine. This is in agreement with Tamiru Hirpa (2013) who stated that later introduction of legume crops in maize gave a better establishment of maize ahead of the later introduced intercrop, thereby suppressing growth and lowers down the canopy of legume
Summary
White Lupine belongs to genes and species Lupinus albus L. and family Leguminosae ( called Fabaceae), the third largest family (EFSA, 2005). The vast numbers of those underutilized species represent an enormous untouched commodity resource which can help to meet the increasing demand for food and nutrition, energy, medicines and industrial needs (Bhat and Karim, 2009). Among those underutilized crops in Ethiopia, according to Likawent Yeheyis (2012), lupine is the most important traditional crop mostly produced and consumed by smallholder farmers in the North-Western part of the country
