Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Planting season significantly affected powdery mildew severity in cowpea.
- Intervention effect In cowpea, December planting reduced powdery mildew severity by 69.60% compared with June planting.
- Intervention effect Intercropping reduced powdery mildew severity in most cowpea cultivars during the June planting compared with monocropping.
- Intervention effect Monocropping gave higher cowpea grain yield than intercropping, with 2.11 and 2.29 t ha − 1 in June and December planting.
- Intervention effect Intercropped cowpea maintained stable productivity per plant despite a 50% reduction in plant density.
- Recommendation Adjusting planting date and adopting intercropping with adapted cultivars can reduce powdery mildew severity and maintain productive stability in semiarid cowpea.
