Abstract
ABSTRACT Eleven rose (Rosa damascena Mill) intercrop systems were evaluated against pure rose for their productivity efficiency over three years (1986–88). This study was conducted under Kashmir conditions. Productivity efficiency of rose-saffron (Crocus sativus) intercrop system over three years averaged highest Land Equivalent Ratio (2.16), Area Time Equivalent Ratio (1.44), and Monetary Equivalent Ratio (0.83) when compared with other intercrop systems and pure rose. The system also showed a complimentary relationship due to lowest aggressivity coefficient over the years of investigations, as saffron remained dormant during the rose growing period (March-October). The quality of rose oil did not change due to intercrops.
