Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Intercropped cowpea yields were decreased by 29 per cent under the short maize variety.
- Intervention effect Intercropped maize yields were reduced by 11 per cent with the short variety.
- Intervention effect Intercropped maize yields were reduced by 33 per cent with the tall variety.
- Intervention effect Land equivalent ratio was higher with the shorter maize variety than with the taller variety (1.60 vs 1.41).
- Intervention effect Land equivalent ratio was higher for intercrops than for monocultures (1.51 vs 1.00).
- Intervention effect Productivity per unit land area was higher with intercropping than with monoculture.
- Intervention effect Yield components and grain yield of maize and cowpea were lower under intercropping than under monoculture.
- Recommendation Intercropping may be more remunerative when short, less vegetative cereal varieties are used with legume crops.
