- Intervention effect Pigeonpea-sorghum intercropping reduced weed growth by 50 to 75%.
- Association High combined plant population enhanced intercropping competitive ability.
- Intervention effect Row arrangement did not significantly influence weed infestation.
- Association Increasing plant population pressure decreased weed dry matter weight.
- Observation Weed growth was 37% higher in compact pigeonpea HY3A than spreading ST1.
- Observation Pearlmillet showed high initial weed smothering ability.
- Observation Maize showed high initial weed smothering ability.
- Observation Cowpea ranked after pearlmillet and maize for initial weed smothering.
- Observation Sorghum competitive ability increased over time.
- Observation Celosia argentea was predominant in the groundnut system.
- Observation Acanthospermum hispidum was predominant in the groundnut system.
- Observation Digitaria sanguinalis was predominant in the groundnut system.
- Observation Pigeonpea competed poorly with weeds.
- Observation Castor competed poorly with weeds.
- Recommendation The authors recommend considering biological cropping factors in integrated weed management.
