Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Phosphorus at 20 and 40 kg ha−1 gave the best total storage yield, total biomass and commercial root yields.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus at 40 kg ha−1 favored the highest vegetative growth.
- Intervention effect Sweetpotato–groundnut intercropping produced the best commercial root yield and total biomass.
- Intervention effect Combining 40 kg ha−1 phosphorus with sweetpotato–groundnut intercropping gave the highest total and commercial storage root yield.
- Intervention effect Total and commercial storage root yield under 40 kg ha−1 phosphorus with groundnut intercropping did not differ significantly from 20 kg P ha−1 with groundnut intercropping.
