Intercropping upland rice with mungbean and peanut was studied to see how it affects growth and yield. Different combinations were tested, and it was found that upland rice with peanut variety CVRC Pn 2011-002 had the highest grain yield and profit margin. Monoculture upland rice matured earlier and had the highest straw yield. Intercropping with peanut variety Pn 06-34-3a had the best Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) and Aggressivity Towards Rice (ATER) values. Overall, intercropping upland rice with peanut variety CVRC Pn 2011-002 gave the best results in terms of yield and profitability.
