Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Cropping system significantly affected component yields and total LER at Babile.
- Intervention effect At Babile, intercropped sorghum yielded 45% to 89% of sole sorghum.
- Intervention effect At Babile, intercropped maize yielded 37% to 86% of sole maize.
- Intervention effect At Babile, intercropped common bean yielded 27% to 54% of sole bean.
- Intervention effect At Alemaya, intercropped sorghum yielded 44% to 92% of sole sorghum.
- Intervention effect At Alemaya, intercropped maize yielded 23% to 71% of sole maize.
- Intervention effect At Alemaya, intercropped common bean yielded 38% to 48% of sole bean.
- Observation Sorghum had higher competitive ability than associated maize and bean.
- Intervention effect Row and mixed intercropping were agronomically advantageous over sole cropping by LER, except maize and bean mixed at Alemaya.
- Observation Maize and bean mixed intercropping at Alemaya had LER 0.84.
- Intervention effect Sorghum and bean row intercropping gave 43% agronomic advantage at Babile.
- Intervention effect Sorghum and bean row intercropping gave 40% agronomic advantage at Alemaya.
- Observation Sole maize had the highest gross monetary value at Alemaya, 8054 ETB ha1.
- Recommendation The authors recommended sorghum and bean row intercropping at Babile.
- Recommendation The authors judged sole maize best economically at Alemaya.
