- Association Number and weight of sweet potato were not significantly affected at a planting density of 50,000 plants/ha.
- Observation Percentage land saved by intercropped sweet potato with soybean varied between 23.08 and 32.43.
- Observation Intercropping sweet potato varieties with soybean was biologically efficient.
- Association Soybean was more competitive than sweet potato at all planting densities tested.
