Abstract
Field experiments were conducted for two years during 2007 and 2008 wet seasons at Samaru (11 o 11′ N, 07 o 38′ E, and 686m above sea level) to study the productivity of soybean/ sesame mixture as influenced by farmyard manure (FYM) and plant arrangement (PAR). The treatments consisted of three levels of farmyard manure (0, 5 and 10 t ha -1 ) and two plant arrangement (single alternate row (SAR) and double alternative row (DAR) arrangements). The factorial combination of FYM and PAR were laid out in a randomized block design with four replications. Application of 5 t FYM ha -1 increased number of soybean pods and sesame capsules per plant, and seed yields of both crops but reduced 1000-seed weight of sesame compared to plots which did not receive manure treatments. The application of both rates of FYM to soybean/sesame mixture increased both the partial and total LERs of the crop compared to those which received no FYM treatments. Sowing in DARs resulted in significantly higher number of soybean pods/plant, 1000-seed weight of sesame and seed yields of both crops than in SARs. The effect of PAR on 100 –seed weight, number of capsules/ plant and LERs of soybean were not significant. The results of LERs show that the efficiency and benefits of soybean/sesame mixture over pure stands of each crop were enhanced by the application of 5t FYM ha -1 and sowing in DARs which recorded LERs > 1.
