Cereal–legume intercropping is promoted within semi-arid regions as an adaptation strategy to water scarcity and drought for low-input systems. Our objectives were firstly evaluate the crop model APSIM pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.))—cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) intercropping—and secondly investigate hypothesis that provides complimentary yield under conditions. The was evaluated...

Poor soil fertility and erratic rainfall constrain crop production in rain-fed smallholder farming systems sub-Saharan Africa. Integration of drought tolerant N2-fixing crops into maize-based cropping is a risk-averse strategy that also improves nitrogen cycling. A field experiment was carried out during the 2017/18 2018/19 seasons Goromonzi district Zimbabwe. The trials were established on 14 ...

An experiment was carried out during the winter season (rabi) for two years 2019-20 and 2020-21 on Instructional cum Research Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalay, Raipur (C.G.) to enhance production of baby corn through intercropping. The laid in randomized block design (RBD) with eight treatment consisting sole paired row along a combination various legumes. treatments were T1 : (45 x 20...

Jatropha curcas is an oleaginous plant whose seed yield low. The present study aimed at evaluating pests associated with J. curcas. In regards to the densities, Denticera near divisella density was obtained 0.85 larvae per in sole farming and 0.70, 0.61, respectively when intercropped casava, maize cowpea. When cassava Stomphastis thraustica most encountered species a of 1.28 while 0.61 for 0.2...

Purpose: Intercropping of baby corn (Zea mays L.) with pulse legumes might improve production efficiency and increase profitability. The objectives this study were to compare growth, yield nitrogen uptake in intercropping systems determine income from the systems.Research Method: Four treatments consisting alone, mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek), soybean (Glycine max) crawling cowpea unqui...

The need to increase cowpea production solve the menace of malnutrition is a global challenge and land limitations have also made intercropping indispensable. Field trials were carried out at Teaching Research Farm, Kwara State University, Malete, National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM) Idofian evaluate growth yield cultivars sorghum with their competitive behavior in cowpea-sorgh...
