To evaluate the intercropping of lemon balm and peppermint, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications and five treatments in the Forest and Rangeland Research Station of Chamestan for one year in 2013. The experiment was conducted. The treatments consisted of lemon balm single cropping, lemon balm intercropped with 75% + 25% peppermint, lemon balm intercropped 50% + 50% peppermint, lemon balm intercropped with 25% + 75% peppermint and peppermint sole cropping. Land equivalence ratio (LER) was used to evaluate the usefulness of intercropping. Properties were measured in lemon balm and peppermint were such as plant height, number of branches per plant, fresh and dry weight per plant, and fresh and dry of aerial parts weight yield. The results showed that some of the intercropping patterns were influenced on the lemon balm in some of the properties such as fresh and dry weight per plant, fresh and dry of aerial parts weight yield, and plant height and the number of branches per plant. The highest fresh and dry weight of the aerial parts and LER were obtained from 25% peppermint + 75% peppermint intercropping pattern. The highest LER was 0.98. The ratio of land equivalence in all of the intercropping patterns was less than one. In spite of the lack of superiority of intercropping to single cropping, due to the increased yield of fresh and dried yield lemon balm in intercropping, this method of cultivation is recommended for further studies with other legume species.
