- Intervention effect Preceding cowpea intercropping significantly reduced maize height.
- Intervention effect Preceding cowpea intercropping significantly reduced sorghum height.
- Intervention effect Synchronized or later cowpea planting did not significantly affect maize and sorghum height.
- Intervention effect Preceding cowpea intercropping reduced maize grain yield.
- Intervention effect Preceding cowpea intercropping reduced sorghum grain yield.
- Intervention effect Post planting cowpea tended toward a nonsignificant increase in sorghum grain yield.
- Intervention effect Synchronized cowpea intercropping reduced weed biomass in maize.
- Intervention effect Synchronized cowpea intercropping reduced weed biomass in sorghum.
- Intervention effect Later cowpea intercropping reduced weed biomass in maize.
- Intervention effect Later cowpea intercropping reduced weed biomass in sorghum.
- Intervention effect Late cowpea intercropping with maize reduced cowpea forage yield.
- Intervention effect Late cowpea intercropping with sorghum reduced cowpea forage yield.
- Intervention effect Cowpea forage yield reduction diminished under preceding cropping.
- Intervention effect Cowpea forage yield reduction diminished under preceding cropping.
- Observation Maize and sorghum dominated cowpea in the intercropping systems.
- Observation Cowpea planted three weeks after maize produced a land equivalent ratio of 1.4.
- Observation Synchronized cowpea with sorghum yielded a land equivalent ratio of 1.5.
