Title
Relative Sowing Time and Density of Component Crops in a Maize/Cowpea Intercrop System
Francis Ofori; W. R. Stern Experimental Agriculture 1987. doi:10.1017/s0014479700003392
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Maize yield was reduced when maize was sown at the same time as or after cowpea
- Intervention effect Intercrop cowpea yields were lower than sole cowpea yields at all sowings
- Intervention effect Increasing the density of either crop in the mixture increased total yield
- Intervention effect Maize reduced cowpea yields more than cowpea reduced maize yields
- Intervention effect Staggered sowings and intercrop density combinations gave no advantage over simultaneous sowing in LER and total seed protein yield, except between the lowest and highest densities
- Association LER appeared to follow the trends in cowpea yields
