Yields of intercropped oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) and cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) were assessed at Okomu (6°25'N, 5°12'E), near Benin City, southern Nigeria. Yields were assessed during the fifth and sixth year after the establishment of oil palm. The annual yield of fresh fruit bunches ...
Field trials were carried out in M'Vuazi, Bas Zaire, to test the response of groundnuts (cv P43), planted sole or intercropped with cassava (cv Kinuani), to lime application. Groundnuts responded significantly to low rates of lime (250-500 kg ha-1). Maximum cost, benefit ratio of 1:7 was obtained...
The severity and increase of the Imperata cylindrica constraint as a weed, the decline of the traditional fallow systems as a means of soil fertility management and the lack of inorganic fertilizer appear to have created opportunities for adoption of mucuna (Mucuna pruriens) technology by smallho...
Farmer-managed trials in developing countries often show great variability in yield and treatment effects. The use of statistical techniques is demonstrated to explain this variability in a maize + cassava intercropping trial in southwestern Nigeria. Concomitant variables, measured in the trial f...
Both area and time factors have to be considered to quantify resource-use efficiency in multiseason intercropping. The land equivalent ratio (LER), commonly used as an indicator of efficiency, is not suitable because it considers only the area factor to estimate intercrop advantages. The area tim...
Cassava sweet potato intercropping experiments were carried out at Ukiriguru (semiarid zone), Tanzania during the period from 1989-91. Four cassava varieties used were, Msitu Zanzibar, Alpim valenca, Mzimbirala and Liongo control. The second experiment tested four cassava planting densities, 6666...
Agriculture research uses “recommendation domains” to develop and transfer crop management practices adapted to specific contexts. The scale of recommendation domains is large when compared to individual production sites and often encompasses less environmental variation than farmers manage. Farm...
Changes in earthworm activity, water runoff, soil erosion, soil physical properties and fertility, and crop growth and yield caused by intercropping either maize (Zea mays L.) and cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) (MC) or maize, cassava and 'egusi' melon (Citrullus lanatus Thunb.) (MCM) on no-ti...
