A field experiment was conducted objectifying to study the growth of the sesame in monocrop and intercropped to the cowpea bean. It was carried out a non destructive analysis evaluating the effect of the relative planting times of the Fabaceae. The experimental design was a randomized block with four replications. The treatments were laid out in a split-plot design with five cropping systems assigned as the main-plot (monocropping of sesame– MG–and sesame + cowpea bean intercropping with four relative planting times of the Fabaceae–0, 7, 14 and 21 days after the planting of the sesame, respectively, C0, C7, C14 and C21). The data harvests were assigned as the sub-plots: 15, 30, 60, 75 and 90 days after the emergence. There was a little influence of the cropping systems on the growth of the sesame. However, C0, showed inferior performance relating to the other cropping system for four tested parameters while C14 showed medium values too similar or even higher than monocropping.
