To increase self-sufficiency ratio and agricultural income, six cropping systems by introducing several crops in perilla were tested from 2001 and 2002. Weed occurrence was high in barley+perilla and safflower+perilla cropping system. Pre-and post-crops in barley+perilla and safflower+perilla showed good growth. Safflower+perilla cropping system was labor-saying and cost down because polyethylene film of pre-crop was reused in post-crop. But when perilla was introduced as post-crop of sesame, delayed seed date resulted in decreased growth and grain yield. The income in barley+perilla and safflower+perilla was greater 4.1fold and 5.2fold, respectively than in perilla mono-crop system. Soil physical properties were improved in order of safflower+perilla, barley+perilla cropping system.
