Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of intercropping mungbeanand sugarcane on several soil properties and sugarcane yield in acid sulfate soil in Long My district - Hau Giang province. The field experiment was a randomized complete block design including seven treatments. The combination of two varieties of mung-bean (CS-208 and DX-06) and three nitrogen levels (40, 60, 80kg N/ha) produced 6 treatments and control treatment as monocultural sugarcane, with four replications on each plot of 36m2.The results showed that two varieties of mungbean are suitable to intercropping with sugarcane. There was no significant difference in mung bean yield between nitrogen levels, but the treatment of intercropping mungbean with 80kg N/ha and sugarcane obtained higher sugarcane yield as compared to monocultural sugarcane. The intercropping of mungbean and sugarcane improved soil properties as organic matter, available ammonium concentration in top soil and higher sugarcane yield 21.7-24.7 tons/ha.
