Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Intercropping with Acacia senegal reduced groundnut yield by 26.3% relative to sole cropping on both sites.
- Intervention effect Intercropping with Acacia senegal reduced sesame yield by 12% relative to sole cropping on both sites.
- Intervention effect Intercropping with Acacia senegal reduced roselle yield by 20.2% relative to sole cropping on both sites.
- Mechanism The yield reduction in intercropping plots is hypothesised to result from high tree density causing water and light competition.
- Observation Fresh weight differed significantly between systems on both sites.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen and organic carbon in soil were significantly higher under intercropping than sole cropping at Eldemokeya Forest Reserve.
- Intervention effect Organic carbon, N, P and pH were higher under intercropping at El-Obeid site.
- Observation Soil organic carbon, N and pH did not differ significantly at El-Obeid site.
- Observation Sand and silt content differed significantly between the two sites.
- Observation Clay content did not differ significantly between the two sites.
- Observation Dry weights of sesame and roselle differed significantly on both sites.
- Observation Dry weight of groundnut did not differ significantly on both sites.
