- Intervention effect Intercropped systems matched monocropped sorghum productivity.
- Intervention effect Intercropping did not affect sorghum development.
- Intervention effect Intercropping generally increased silage fiber content over monocropped sorghum.
- Observation Intercropped silage retained adequate nutritional quality.
- Intervention effect Palisade grass intercropping improved relative nitrogen yield.
- Intervention effect Guinea grass intercropping improved relative nitrogen yield.
- Intervention effect Intercropping did not influence aggressivity or relative crowding coefficient.
