Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Intercropping reduced maize grain yield versus monoculture.
- Intervention effect Intercropping reduced maize forage yield versus monoculture.
- Intervention effect Intercropping had no effect on total forage production.
- Observation Total forage production was greatest when maize was seeded with or before cowpea.
- Observation Cowpea produced no grain.
- Observation Cowpea forage production was almost double polebean production.

- Intervention effect Nitrogen increased maize forage yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen increased total forage yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen had no effect on legume forage production.
- Recommendation The authors call for further research on planting, weeds, harvesting and management.
