The study investigated the effect of intercropping cereals (maize, sorghum and wheat) with forage legumes (lablab and clover), planting methods and manure application on cereal grain and fodder dry matter yield and fodder nutritive value. Data collected over a period of three years, indicated tha...

Plant architecture and N fertilizer may limit the performance of intercropped maize (Zea mays L.) and cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walpers] cultivars. This paper describes an experiment in which cultivars of maize and cowpea were intercropped and fertilized with varying rates of N. The cowpea c...

In southern Africa the repeated cultivation of maize (Zea mays) and climate variability (especially frequent and extended droughts) have created conditions favouring parasitic weed infestation (e.g., Striga asiatica). In the past decade, Striga has reduced maize yields for smallholder farmers (cu...

Weed abundance in cereal-based systems has increased in recent years across sub-Saharan Africa for smallholder farmers (cultivating less than two hectares). Smallholders can employ numerous practices to control weeds such as intercropping cereal crops with legumes. We conducted a review to identi...

Banana leaf pruning is a common practice to facilitate intercropping with legumes on farmers’ fields. It is however not clear if this practice improves farmers land-use and economic efficiency, especially after full canopy formation. To analyze pruning effects, three legumes viz. bush bean (Phase...

The effects of cassava-based intercropping systems and rotations on physical and chemical properties of earthworm casts and the adjacent soil were studied on an Oxic Paleustalf in south-western Nigeria. Earthworm activity was greater with intercropping although it was not significantly affected b...

Afternoon soil temperature of about 39°C observed at 5 cm depth under sole cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) early in the growing season was reduced by respectively 1.0, 1.3, 3.0 and 4.4°C by intercropping with maize (Zea mays L.), maize/okra (Abelmoschus esculentus Moench), maize/ egusi melon (...

The Projet Recherche Appliquée en Milieu Réel is situated on the Adja Plateau, Southwest Benin. The project is responsible for a FSR&D programme that aims at sustainable use of the so-calledTerres de barre. Technologies tested in this context include seasonal fallowing, usingMucuna pruriens cv. g...
