and 2018 seasons to study the effect of intercropping maize {Zea mays, L.} cv.Tri hybrid cross Nefertiti -3 as main crop with cow pea {Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp} cv. Carem-1 as secondary crop at nine treatments, three planting dates: T 1 cow pea planted on the same day with maize, T 2 cow pea planted after 15 days of maize planting and T 3 cow pea planted after 30 days of maize planting as well as three cutting dates of cow pea taking one cut on different dates: D 1 cutting after 45 days from sowing or D 2 cutting after 60 days from sowing or D 3 cutting after 75 days from sowing, beside of pure stands for maize and cow pea as a recommended. The performed experiment was designed as a randomized complete block using split plot arrangement with three replications.The results could be summarized as follows; treatment of T 1 D 3 significantly increased plant height of maize as compared with pure stand and other treatments. The treatment of T 3 D 1 maize produced the greatest mean values of 100grain weight (g), grains weight /plant (g) and grain yield (ardab /fad.). Significant increase in plant height and leaf area index of cow pea at all treatments were detected as compared with the pure stands, while number of leaves/plant were of cow pea decreased at all treatments as compared with pure stands.The pure stands of the cow pea produced the maximum forage yield/fad. as compared with other treatments in both seasons. Meanwhile, growing cow pea under the treatment of T 2 D 3 produced the highest values of forage yield/fad. as compared with the other treatments in both seasons. The protein ratio/plant and total ash/plant of grown cow pea under treatment of T 3 D 3 produced the maximum as compared with all the other treatments in both seasons. The highest value of crude fibers for the cow pea was recorded treatment of T 3 D 1 .Treatment of T 3 D 1 was the best for land utilization from land equivalent ratio (LER) and relative crowding coefficient (RCC). Maize (dominant) and cow pea had the lowest values for aggressivity.All treatments of cow pea with maize achieved higher economic return than pure maize and the most profitable pattern was T 3 D 3 .

“…The highest yield advantage for the two cropping season of 2.6 was obtained by intercropping Nhae 47-4 with Tis 2532.op.1.13 sweet potato or Tae 38 okra with Tis 87/0087 sweet potato. This confirms similar result obtained by Muoneke and Asiegbu (1997) in okra cowpea mixture. The superior LER obtained by the intercropping made the mixture a more productive option and agree with earlier reports of Pinchinat, et al (1976) who had recommended crop mixtures yielding LER of 1.39 to 1.63 as being good mixtures.…”

A field trial was conducted for 2 years to determine cropping system effect on yield of some sweetpotato and okra cultivars in an intercropping system. Sweetpotato variety TIS 87/0087 produced significantly (P<0.05) higher number of tubers per plant than Tis 8164 and Tis 2532.op.1.13 varieties. Tuber yield was also significant in 2000, but was not in 2001. Intercropping generally increased okra plant height while interaction of okra with sweetpotato and cropping system showed significant differences in pod length and pod width. The land equivalent ratio of sweetpotato and okra cultivar were all above 1.0 indicating that higher productivity per unit area was achieved by growing the two crops together than growing them separately.

“…The generally more leaf production obtained for intercropped plots compared to the control at the different manure rates (0, 5, 10 and 20 t/ha) showed the effect of etiolation where plants in the bid to catch sunlight exert greater growth vigour compared to those in control plots that were not intercropped. Earlier reports by [63] and [64] had reported that intercropped okra was…”

Productivity responses using organic approaches will assist to elucidate crop responses under different intercrop population levels. Experiments were conducted to determine the growth, yield and productivity responses of component crops in snake tomato/celosia mixtures to intercrop population and organic manure application rates. The 4 × 4 factorial experiment arranged in completely randomized design (CRD) was replicated three times. The snake tomato using potting media was cultivated in 2013 and 2014 at 100,000 plants/ha (one plant/pot) alongside intercrop celosia at three population levels of 100,000 (P1), 200,000 (P2) and 300,000 plant/ha (P3) (10, 20 and 30 plants/pot respectively) where sole crops (P0) served as control. The crop mixture was supplied with poultry manure (PM) at 5 (F1), 10 (F2) and 20 t/ha (F3) using the unfertilized (0 t/ha-F0) as control. The result showed that plants in "year II" had longer vines, thicker girth and more side-vines while those in "year I" had more leaves, more male/female flowers, longer and thicker fruit sizes and heavier fruit yield. Intercropping with celosia at P1 produced plants with thicker girth and more leaves, plants at P1 -P3 had more side-vines while all intercropped plots had more female flowers, but P1 had thicker fruit girth compared to sole crops. Plants with F3 had longer vine length, more leaves and more number of side-vines, more female flowers, longer fruits, thicker fruit girth and heavier fruit yield, but those with F1 or F3 had thicker girth compared to other rates while those with F2 had better productivity advantage with LER and ATER at >1.0. In conclusion, snake tomato and celosia in crop mixture were best with F2 and F3 respectively, although intercropping retarded growth and yield of the component crops but P1 was comparable with sole.
