N application and legume intercropping combinations gave better growth and yield performance of corn, peanut and mungbean. Application of 90 kg N/ha gave the highest grain yield of corn while N application reduced the herbage and grain yeilds of peanut mixture; however, it increased herbage yield of mungbean but reduced grain yield. Corn + peanut intercropping combination gave higher gross margin than corn + mungbean combination. Single-row intercropping scheme gave lesser production cost than double-row that resulted to higher gross margin of either intercropping combination.
