Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Sole cassava was shorter than intercropped cassava as okra density increased.
- Intervention effect Sole okra plants were shorter than intercropped okra.
- Intervention effect High okra density in the intercrop reduced okra leaf production and leaf area index.
- Observation Cassava LAI rose until 36 WAP and then declined.
- Observation Okra LAI declined until 10 WAP in both years.
- Intervention effect Okra LAI was higher in sole cropping than intercropping.
- Intervention effect Intercropping reduced cassava total number of tubers.
- Intervention effect Intercropping significantly reduced fresh pod number, pod dimensions, pod weight per plant and yield per hectare.
- Intervention effect Okra planting density did not affect intercrop pod yield in 2000/2001.
- Intervention effect At 42,000 plants/ha, okra yielded more than other intercrops in 2001/2002.
- Intervention effect The crop mixture had a yield advantage of 25-30%.
- Intervention effect Crop mixtures generated higher monetary returns.
- Intervention effect An okra density of 42,000 plants/ha had the highest yield advantage of 30% in both seasons.
- Observation The 42,000 plants/ha intercrop returned N 142,000.00 in 2000/2001.
- Observation The 42,000 plants/ha intercrop returned N 153,900.00 in 2001/2002.
