“Bacterial blight severity was significantly reduced compared to sole cassava in the forest highland in cassava-taro and cassava-maize intercropping (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 in 2000 and 2001, respectively), in the forest lowland in cassava-maize intercropping (p = 0.002 in 2001), and in cassava-maize intercropping in the wet savanna zone (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01 in 2000 and 2001, respectively)”
