Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Cropping patterns significantly affected growth and yield components of cowpea.
- Intervention effect The intercropping pattern 2M:C4 gave the highest land equivalent ratio for cowpea, 1.62.
- Intervention effect The intercropping pattern 2M:C4 gave the highest land equivalent ratio for maize, 1.10.
- Observation The observed land equivalent ratio values correspond to 38.27% of land saved.
- Observation The observed land equivalent ratio values correspond to 9.90% of land saved.
- Observation Land equivalent coefficient value of 0.62 indicated the greatest productivity per unit area from growing the two crops together.
- Observation Land equivalent coefficient value of 0.30 indicated the greatest productivity per unit area from growing the two crops together.
- Observation The competitive ratio of 0.72 shows that both crops were highly complementary and most suitable in mixture.
