Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of maize cultivars fitotecnico crop system in monocrop and intercropped with jatropha. The experiment was conducted in 2009/2010 harvest , at Fazenda Paraiso , located in the District of Itahum , City of Dourados , State of Mato Grosso do Sul in soil classified as Oxisol . The experimental design was a randomized block in factorial 3x2 , three maize cultivars and two cropping systems (monocrop and intercropped) , with four replications . The interaction between maize varieties and cropping system , the total dry mass and productivity for the three cultivars cropping system had the highest averages , indicating the great competition for factors of production offered by jatropha at this time of year. The BRS 1010 highlighted in productivity compared to the other cultivars in both systems . In terms of yield, not recommended if intercropping maize with jatropha over three years old and planted at a spacing of 3x2 m , during spring / summer.
