t0“cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)”
e0“The strip intercropping system was advantageou over monocropping in BCR and land utilisation because the land equivalent ratio (LER) values were greater than 1.00.”

- Intervention effect Applying 30-45 kg P/ha significantly increased cowpea root biomass.
- Intervention effect Applying 30-45 kg P/ha significantly increased cowpea pods per plant.
- Intervention effect Applying 30-45 kg P/ha significantly increased overall cowpea grain yield.
- Observation PAN311 performed better than TVu13464 across measured agronomic variables in both seasons.
- Observation PAN311 flowered and matured earlier than TVu13464.
- Observation PAN311 had higher canopy height and root mass than TVu13464.
- Observation PAN311 had more pods per plant and longer pods than TVu13464.
- Observation PAN311 had greater grain yield than TVu13464.
- Intervention effect Strip intercropping improved cowpea root mass over monocropping.
- Intervention effect Strip intercropping improved cowpea grain yield over monocropping.
- Intervention effect Strip intercropping had an advantageous benefit-cost ratio over monocropping.
- Recommendation The optimum phosphorus rate for cowpea-maize strip intercropping was 30 kg P/ha based on yield and financial return.
