The study aims to evaluate the yield and economic viability of corn and U. ruziziensis intercropping modalities in the northwestern region of Paraná. The experiment was conducted in Maringá-PR in a completely randomized design with five treatments (single corn; single <em>U. ruziziensis</em>; <em>U. ruziziensis</em> between the corn rows; corn with <em>U. ruziziensis</em> in the same row; corn rows interspersed with <em>U. ruziziensis</em> rows) and four replicates. Initial development, grain yield of corn, and the production of biomass of corn and <em>U. ruziziensis </em>were evaluated. The data were submitted to analysis of variance. The means were compared by the Tukey test at 5% probability. In the initial development of corn plants, there was no significant difference due to intercropping. <em>U. ruziziensis</em> in the intercropped system had a reduction in biomass production. Intercropping with corn rows interspersed with <em>U. ruziziensis</em> rows had grain yield higher than other intercropping modalities and similar to single corn cultivation</p>}, number={4}, journal={REVISTA DE AGRICULTURA NEOTROPICAL}, author={Wenneck, Gustavo Soares and Saath, Reni and Araujo, Larissa Leite de and Pereira, Gustavo Lopes and Oliveira, Giovanna Gabriela Ferreira de and Sá, Nathália de Oliveira and Volpato, Camila de Souza}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={e6163} }
