Although intercropping soybean with other crops have been investigated, not much research have been done on intercropping soybean cultivars. Three soybean cultivars (Williams, SRF 450 and Hobbit) with distinct morphological characteristics were intercropped under four different plant densities (22.5, 30.3, 45 and 90 plant m-2). The plots were established in Mashhad (NE Iran) with a factorial design. The results of the experiment showed that Williams- SRF 450 intercrop treatment had the highest yield (4158 kg ha-1). Intercropping Williams (a tall indeterminate cultivar) with Hobbit (a short determinate cultivar) resulted in the formation of rippled canopy which increased crop canopy surface area that can absurd direct solar radiation. This intercrop treatment did not give superior yield because competitive advantage of Williams over Hobbit resulted in a significant increase of empty pods in hobbit plants.
