Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Total grain yield tracked irrigation under low rainfall.
- Intervention effect Intercropped pearl millet had significantly lower grain yield than sole pearl millet, 1.1 versus 2.5 t/ha.
- Intervention effect Cowpea yielded 0.8 t/ha both intercropped and alone.
- Recommendation Sole cultivation may be more suitable for pearl millet production.
- Method / resource The APSIM model satisfactorily reproduced density, irrigation and year effects.
- Method / resource Plant height was crucial for evaluating the model.
- Method / resource The combined experiment and model approach can improve intercropping strategies.
