This work is carried out in order to determine the actual within row spacing and the plant arrangement on which sorghum can be intercropped with sesame for higher yields. Varieties of sesame (Sesamum indicum) (CV, E8) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) (TG 5760KS ) were used for the experiment which was made up of 5 treatments which were replicated 3 times. The treatments were Sole Sesame, Sole sorghum, Sesame intercrop with sorghum at 50cm×2 stands, 50cm×1 stand and 100cm×1 stand. Data were obtained for plant height at 3, 6 and 9 weeks after planting (WAP), leaf number at 3, 6, and 9 WAP, number of branches at 4, and 8 WAP, number of capsule per plant at harvest, weight of seed, plant height at 3, 6, 9 and 12 WAP, number of leaves at 3, 6, 9 and 12 WAP, number of tillers at 4 and 8 WAP. Generally, intercropping sesame with sorghum reduces the yield of sorghum drastically. The total land equivalent ratio (LER) indicated yield advantages in intercropping sesame with sorghum, especially when sesame was intercropped with sorghum at 1 stand/50cm. It is interesting to note that, sorghum had little effect on sesame LER which produce yield advantage.
