Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Population density of Maruca vitrata was lower in 1:1 and 2:3 maize/cowpea intercrops than the Megalurothrips sjostedti population
- Association Ife brown cowpea was infested by a higher number of M. sjostedti and M. vitrata than Tvu 13076
- Association Ife brown cowpea had a higher number of beetles infesting its leaves than Tvu 13076, not significant
- Intervention effect Incidence and damage caused by Ootheca mutabilis were not significantly higher on 2:3 than on 1:1 maize/cowpea intercrop
- Association Ife brown cowpea produced significantly higher seed yield (93.62) than Tvu13076 (64.53)
- Intervention effect The 2:3 maize/cowpea intercrop gave significantly higher seed yield (129.43) than the 1:1 intercrop (32.72)
- Association Intercropping may not necessarily reduce pest load, depending on crop and pest
