Popis: The present examination was conducted at the Experimental Farm, Fac. Environ. Agric. Sci., Arish Univ., Egypt, during the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 seasons. The aim of this investigation to study the effect of five intercropping combinations system treatments in reciprocal rows between broad bean and anise i.e., (1), (1:1), (1:2), (2:1), and (2:2), and three treatments of irrigation intervals, i.e., irrigated every day, three, and five days. The results showed that the interaction between the intercropping systems (One-row anise with two rows of broad bean (1:2)) with irrigation every day achieved the highest values of vegetative growth characters and yield parameters during the two growing seasons. Besides, competitive indices (LER, ATER, and LUE) showed that the interaction between the intercropping system of anise: broad bean (1: 2 and 2: 2 systems), and irrigated every three days were higher compared to the other interactions under study. The previous treatments recorded the highest values of water utilization efficiency (WUE). Also, the results recorded a positive sign for anise in most interaction treatments and a negative sign for broad beans in the same intercropping systems. For that, it can recommend by the intercropping system of anise: broad bean (1: 2 or 2: 2 systems), and irrigation every day or three days to improve water utilization efficiency, and productivity under climate conditions in North Sinai region.
