Intervention effect Berseem as preceding crop gave the highest maize and cowpea trait values.
Intervention effect Wheat as preceding crop gave the lowest maize and cowpea trait values.
Intervention effect Fertilizer treatments significantly affected all maize and cowpea traits.
Intervention effect 75% NPK plus arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi gave the highest trait values.
Association Preceding crop by fertilizer interaction significantly affected most maize and cowpea traits in both seasons.
Intervention effect Berseem preceding crop with T2 fertilizer gave the highest intercrop trait values.
Intervention effect Mixing third-cut cowpea with maize straw significantly improved forage quality and digestibility.
Intervention effect Berseem plus T2 produced the highest land equivalent ratio, 1.51 and 1.6 in seasons one and two.
Intervention effect Berseem plus T2 produced relative crowding coefficients of 9.45 and 15.35 in seasons one and two.
Intervention effect Berseem plus T2 increased net return by 3955.67 L.E. or 34.25% in the first season versus pure maize.
Intervention effect Berseem plus T2 increased net return by 5062.50 L.E. or 44.71% in the second season versus pure maize.
