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...

Maize-cowpea intercropping as affected by nitrogen fertilization
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 (...

Five maize genotypes differing in plant habit and growth period were evaluated at 5 population densities (10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 × 103 plants/ha) under an intercropping system with cassava cv. TMS30572 at 1 × 1 or 1 × 0.67 m spacing in a tropical Alfisol in southern Nigeria. Increasing the maize ...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)/Maize (Zea mays L.) intercropping is so popular in Nigeria that a cassava/maize intercropping package is recommended to small-scale farmers. Farmers insist on including low-growing vegetables like okra (Abelmoschus esculentus Moench) and egusi melon (Citrullus l...

The growth environment of cassava intercropped with maize differs from monocultures of cassava. A trial was conducted to determine the effects of intercropping with maize on micro-environment, growth and yield of cassava. Radiant energy reaching the soil surface and maximum diurnal soil temperatu...

Cassava is traditionally grown on tilled soils. Interest in reduced-tillage systems is increasing in the humid tropics due to erosion problems. A field study was conducted on a sandy clay loam Ultisol to compare cassava performance in three tillage systems effects on soil water and organic carbon...
