- Intervention effect Cassava LAI was highest at the highest cowpea planting density in 2005/2006.
- Intervention effect Cassava tuber yield was highest at 80,000 cowpea plants/ha.
- Intervention effect Cowpea grain yield was not significantly affected by intercropping.
- Intervention effect Cowpea grain yield was highest at the highest cowpea density in 2005/2006.
- Observation Land equivalent ratio was greater than 1.0 in all intercrops.
- Intervention effect Cassava intercropped with 80,000 cowpea plants/ha gave higher monetary returns than other cowpea densities or monoculture.
- Intervention effect Cowpea at the highest population density gave the highest monetary returns.
- Observation Fresh root yield of cassava was influenced by cropping system and density in 2005/2006 but not in 2004/2005.
