Spatial arrangement of crops is critical in determining the growth and yield of lower crops in intercropping. The productivity of two spatial
arrangements of pearl millet-groundnut intercrops was studied in the Sudan savanna of Nigeria during 2014 rainy season at Wasai (5ˈN, 08o62ˈE) in Minjibir ...

Field trials were conducted in 2005 and 2006 in Tilla (northern Guinea savanna) and Sabon-Gari (Sudan savanna) in northeast Nigeria to determine the performance of two improved cowpea varieties when relay-intercropped with early and late maize, 6 and 8 weeks after planting the maize. Grain yield,...

Performance of semideterminate and indeterminate cowpeas relaycropped into maize in Northeast Nigeria
Most of the farmers in the dry savannas of West Africa plant local varieties of cowpea, millet, sorghum, and groundnut in various intercropping systems with little or no purchased inputs. In this system, the cowpea and groundnut yields are low due to shading by cereals and lack of plant protectio...

Improved cropping systems for higher productivity in the dry savannas of West Africa
Food production in West Africa has not been keeping pace with the population growth because the bulk of the agriculture in this region is still based on traditional inter-cropping systems with little or no application of fertilizers and chemicals. The average use of fertilizers in West Africa is ...
