- Association Roselle accessions differed significantly in growth and yield performance.
- Association Local outperformed the other roselle accessions in growth and yield attributes.
- Intervention effect Intercropped roselle had significantly higher calyx yield than sole roselle.
- Intervention effect Intercropped roselle had significantly higher shoot yield than sole roselle.
- Association Maize yield attributes differed between seasons.
- Observation Samadah intercrops had an ATER of 1.99.
- Observation Bissap intercrops had an ATER of 2.18.
- Observation Local intercrops had an ATER of 2.49.

- Observation Competitive ratio for leaf number ranged from 0.96 to 1.09.
- Observation Competitive ratio for plant height ranged from 1.12 to 1.25.
- Association Choice of roselle accession did not affect intercrop performance.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that intercropping benefits roselle without compromising maize yield.
