- Intervention effect Intercropping gave a lower number of weeds emerged than the other plots.
- Intervention effect Herbicide-treated plots had a lower number of weeds emerged than the other plots.
- Intervention effect The uncropped and unweeded control plots had higher weed densities and weed biomass than the other plots.
- Intervention effect Aggregate crop yields were significantly higher in intercropping than in sole plots.
- Observation Weed emergence occurred throughout 3-15 weeks after planting in maize and cowpea fields.
- Observation Forty-three weed species from 38 genera in 20 families were encountered in the maize and cowpea plots.
- Observation Fimbristylis littoralis Gaudet was among the most prevalent weed species in the maize and cowpea plots.
