Temporal complementarity in resource use is not well understood in wheat (Triticum aestivum) /faba bean (bean; Vicia faba) intercropping system. Results from a field experiment involving this intercrop combination indicate no benefit in resource use by delaying bean sowing date (BSD), as the total intercrop (wheat + bean) seed yields were reduced with delay in BSD. Averaged across wheat seed rate, total intercrop seed yields were 586 g/m2, 490 g/m2 and 422 g/m2 for simultaneous sowing of wheat with bean, 23 days delay in BSD and 37 days delay in BSD respectively.
