  A field trial was conducted at Bhola sadar and Daulatkhan during the rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at the farmer’s field under AEZ-18 to verify the agro-economic performance of intercropping of Soybean with Maize and to ensure the maximum utilization of the land for higher yield, Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) and economic return. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design on farmer’s field condition in Bhola sadar. Four treatments combination of different seed rate of mustard and cowpea viz., T1 = Sole maize, T2 = Sole Soybean, T3 = Two row maize (60cm x 25cm) with 2 row Soybean (30cm x 6cm), T4 = Pair row maize (120cm x 25cm) with 4 row Soybean (30cm x 6cm). Variety was BARI Hybrid Maize-16 and BARI Soybean-6. In case of maize no. of cobs plant-1, 1000-grain wt. (g) of maize was significantly influenced by intercrop combination in two consecutive y..
