Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect The 1M:1C maize-cowpea intercropping (C3) performed better for CGR.
- Intervention effect The 1M:1C maize-cowpea intercropping (C3) performed better for pods per plant and pod length.
- Intervention effect The 1M:1C intercropping (C3) gave a cowpea pod yield of 1.30 t/ha and performed better for pod and forage yield.
- Intervention effect The 1M:1C intercropping (C3) gave a cowpea forage yield of 5.49 t/ha and performed better for pod and forage yield.
- Intervention effect The 1M:1C intercropping (C3) gave a cowpea crop equivalent yield of 1.76 t/ha and performed better for it.
- Intervention effect The maximum values of the reported growth and yield attributes were attained from sole cowpea rather than the 1M:1C intercropping.
- Intervention effect Nutrient management with 75% N chemical plus 25% N organic with seaweed (N2) gave 1.51 t/ha of pod yield, greater than the other practices.
- Intervention effect Nutrient management with 75% N chemical plus 25% N organic with seaweed (N2) gave 6 t/ha of forage yield, greater than the other practices.
- Intervention effect Nutrient management with 75% N chemical plus 25% N organic with seaweed (N2) gave 2.01 t/ha of crop equivalent yield, greater than the other practices.
- Association Total nodules per plant were significantly influenced by crop geometry and nutrient management.
- Association Total chlorophyll content of cowpea was significantly varied by nutrient management.
- Association Pod yield had a negative functional relationship with canopy temperature in the regression analysis.
- Association Pod yield was positively related to intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (PAR).
