Ten treatments were included in the study as, T<sub>1</sub> (sole wheat), T<sub>2</sub> (sole mustard), T<sub>3</sub> (wheatmustard in 2:1 rows), T<sub>4</sub> (wheat-mustard in 3:1 rows), T<sub>5</sub> (wheat-mustard in 4:1 rows), T<sub>6</sub> (wheat-mustard in 5:1 rows), T<sub>7</sub> (wheat-mustard in 2:2 rows), T<sub>8</sub> (wheat-mustard in 3:2 rows), T<sub>9</sub> (wheat-mustard in 4:2 rows) and T<sub>10</sub> (wheat-mustard in 5:2 rows). The experimental result indicatedthe significant variations of wheat yield by the wheatmustard intercropping system. The highest seed yield of wheat (3.4 t ha<sup>-1</sup>) was obtained from T<sub>1</sub> (sole wheat) that identical with T<sub>4</sub> (wheat-mustard in 3:1 rows) and similar with T<sub>9</sub> (wheat-mustard in 4:2 rows). Wheat yield gradually decreased with increasing mustard rows. The lowest seed yield (1.87 t ha-1) was obtained from T<sub>7</sub> (wheat-mustard in 2:2 rows) which was statistically similar to T<sub>8</sub> (wheat-mustard in 3:2 rows). The highest wheat equivalent yield (5.03 t ha<sup>-1</sup>) was obtained from T<sub>4</sub> (wheat-mustard in 3:1 rows). Treatment T<sub>4</sub> (wheat-mustard in 3:1 rows) produced the highest LER (1.45). Economic analysis of the different treatments showed that the highest gross return (Tk. 120250.0 ha<sup>- 1</sup>), the highest net return (Tk. 61178.0 ha<sup>-1</sup>) and BCR (2.04) from T<sub>4</sub> (wheat-mustard in 3:1 rows). Therefore, present study suggest that wheat and mustard intercropped in 3:1 rows showed the most compatible in respect of yield advantage and economic gain.</p> <p><em>Bangladesh Agron.
