Yam was intercropped with maize, okra, and sweet potato and subjected to various periods of weed interference and weed-free regimes. The field trials were conducted for two cropping seasons at the research farm of the National Root Crops Institute, Umudike, Nigeria, 5° 29' N latitude and 7° 32' E...

Response of yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) to various periods of weed interference in an intercropping with maize (Zea mays L.), okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench), and sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam)
Intercropping cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and maize (Zea mays L.) can alleviate weed problems. The weeds which might otherwise build up before cassava covers the ground can be replaced by the cereal. The objective of this study was to determine effects of intercropping and fertilizer appli...

Effects of intercropping and fertilizer application on weed control and performance of cassava and maize
Maize dominated cassava irrespective of cassava or maize growth habit and the optimum maize population giving the highest production based on relative yield total or land equivalent ratio varied with maize variety in a tropical Alfisol at Ibadan, transition humid/subhumid zone in West Africa. The...

Cassava and maize intercropping system: the effects of varieties and plant populations
This paper reviews intercropping research for a particular case: cassava-based crop combinations. Cassava is dominated in combination with maize while it is the dominating species in combination with low-growing species. Combinations with maize or legumes show a real biological advantage over the...
A two year trial was conducted a11badan to determine the effects of okra and melon on the soil moisture and leaf water status of cassava/maize intercrops. Inclusion of melon into a cassava/maize mixture. Especially where the cassava had sparse canopy, appeared to be an effective means of conservi...
