Other claims from this paper (15)
- Observation Light availability declined as maize canopy developed and was lowest at 100 days after emergence, then slightly increased.
- Intervention effect The paired maize rows with two sweet potato rows gave the sweet potato canopy more light throughout the crop period.
- Intervention effect The increased light in the paired-row intercrop enhanced sweet potato tuber formation, bulging and yield.
- Observation Sweet potato vines provided mulch cover that preserved soil moisture and reduced weed infestation.
- Observation The sweet potato mulch was associated with higher maize yield and yield components.
- Intervention effect Paired-row maize with two sweet potato rows had the highest maize cob yield (19.82 t ha-1).
- Intervention effect Paired-row maize with two sweet potato rows had the highest maize grain yield (8.98 t ha-1).
- Intervention effect Sweet potato tuber yield was highest in the paired-row combination at 17.11 t ha-1.
- Intervention effect Maize cob equivalent yield was highest in the paired-row combination at 42.63 t ha-1.
- Intervention effect Maize grain equivalent yield was highest in the paired-row combination at 15.82 t ha-1.
- Intervention effect The paired-row intercrop had the highest gross return for cob at Tk. 1,27,890 ha-1.
- Intervention effect The paired-row intercrop had the highest gross return for grain at Tk. 1,58,200 ha-1.
- Intervention effect The paired-row intercrop had the highest gross margin for cob at Tk. 87,890 ha-1.
- Intervention effect The paired-row intercrop had the highest benefit cost ratio for cob at 3.20.
- Intervention effect The paired-row intercrop had the highest benefit cost ratio for grain at 3.16.
