The experiment was conducted at the Rafael Fernandes Experimental Farm, in the Alagoinha district, rural area of Mossoró-RN, Brazil, with the purpose of evaluating the agronomic efficacy of different differentquantitys of jitirana mixed with cattle manure in the intercropping coriander and mint. The study was conducted between 11/27/2015 and 03/22/2016, in a randomized whole block design study area set up, arranged in 2 x 4 factorial scheme layouts with three replications. The first factorial scheme consisted of single cropping and intercropping of mint and coriander. The second factorial scheme comprised a different quantity of jitirana mixed with cattle manure (0.0, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 kg m-2). The evaluated characteristics for the mint crop were biomass weight, fresh mass, number of bunch, dry mass, oil content and yield, and for the coriander crop these were plant height, number of plants1 stems, productivity, number of bunches and dry mass. There was an increase in the productive characteristics of the consortium, with a number of peppermint sauces of 5.8 and 15.3 m2 of coriander at doses of 2.2 and 3.0 kg m2, respectively. The equivalent area ratio was agronomic ally efficient, with equivalent area ratio (RAE) of 1.78.
