Cowpea-maize intercropping causes low yields of cowpea due to shading effect by maize plants. Staggering of dates of planting of cowpea in an intercrop is a potential way of reducing intercrop shading while increasing cowpea yield. Nonetheless, contrasting cowpea cultivars may have differential r...

Agronomic responses of diverse cowpea cultivars to planting date and cropping system
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is the most important grain legume in the dry savannas of West Africa, however grain and fodder yields are low (averaging 25 to 300 kg and 450 to 800 kg grain and fodder/ha, respectively) due to biotic and abiotic constraints. Improved varieties and cropping ...

Improving the productivities of cowpeacereal systems in the savannas of West Africa through dissemination of improved varieties and cropping systems
Maize cultivation has recently expanded to the West African Sudan savannah and has the potential to play a key role
in the cropping systems of the region where intercrop yields have been low. Staggering planting date and
manipulating plant population of component crops are potential ways to impro...

This paper analysed the baseline productive efficiencies of the cereal–legume farmers in the Sudan Savanna of Nigeria. The paper also investigated the factors that affected the technical efficiency of the sampled farmers. Baseline data collected on cereal-legume farmers who belong to four Innovat...
