Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Cassava storage roots per plant and fresh root yield were higher at the low cowpea population than at the higher populations
- Intervention effect Maize grain seed number per cob and grain yield were higher in the intercrop at the low cowpea population than at the higher populations
- Intervention effect Cowpea and melon populations had no significant effect on the cassava harvest index
- Intervention effect Cowpea and melon populations had no significant effect on the maize harvest index
- Intervention effect Intercropping reduced the number of seeds per cowpea pod
- Intervention effect Intercropping significantly affected melon pod number per plant and seed number per pod (direction not stated)
- Intervention effect Cowpea grain yield increased with increasing cowpea and melon populations
- Intervention effect Melon seed yield increased with increasing cowpea and melon populations
- Intervention effect Cowpea harvest index was not affected by cowpea and melon populations
- Intervention effect Melon harvest index was not affected by cowpea and melon populations
- Association Cowpea grain yield and seed yield components were significantly higher in the sole crop than in intercropping
- Association Melon grain yield and seed yield components were significantly higher in the sole crop than in intercropping
- Association The cassava + maize + cowpea + melon system gave the highest LERs (2.29, 2.62 and 3.12) in 1989, 1990 and 1991
- Association The lowest LERs (2.19, 2.12 and 2.31) were obtained from the highest cowpea and melon population combinations
- Association Intercropping gave 37-63%, 41-49% and 26-70% greater LER in 1989, 1990 and 1991 than sole cropping
