To investigate the impact of sugar crop intercropping and different levels of NPK fertilizers, a study was conducted at Agriculture Research Institute, Dera Ismail Khan. Sugarcane verity “HSF-240”and sugar beet verity “Antak” was used in experiment. Six treatments of fertilizers i.e. F0 (0-0-0), F1 (100-100-100), F2 (150-150-150), F3 (200- 200-200), F4 (250-250-250) and F5 (300-300-300) NPK kg ha-1 . Row spacing between sugarcane and sugar beet was kept 90 cm. The results regarding weight per stripped cane, weight per beet, sugar recovery, sugar yield were significantly influenced by the application of treatments. The maximum and economically feasible cane parameters were recorded at F4 (250:250:250 NPK kg ha-1 ). The economic analysis revealed that maximum BCR (5.09) was recorded in F4 (250-250-250 NPK kg ha-1 ) in sugarcane intercropped with sugar beet showing the superiority of F4 with intercrop and hence recommended for the farmers, to get maximum return per unit of capital invested.
