Economic efficiency assessment of runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus L.) in intercropping system

Abstract

The paper presents the economic efficiency assesment of runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus L.), cultivated in intercropping system. The crop was established by direct sowing in the field, in three variants of plant arrangement, namely: intercropping with common maize, intercropping with sunflower and intercropping with Jerusalem artichoke. The technological estimate elaboration meant the enumeration of technological links for each experimental variant, since the previous crop abolition and ending with harvesting. The results were reported at the unit area (hectare-ha), indicating obvious differences between the studied variants.
