Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of maize cultivars fitotécnico 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.
