“…Oliveira et al. (2017) observed that cowpea in consortium with millet presented a nodule dry mass equal to the monoculture system, showing that the millet‐generated shading did not affect nodulation, similar to the tree component and buffel grass in the present study. Similar results were also observed by Silva et al.…”

“…Correia et al (2021) determined that artificial shading with a shade screen did not influence the number of nodules and nodules dry mass variables in flowering cowpea compared to unshaded cultivation, corroborating the results of the present study as the distance from the eucalyptus planting rows did not change the nodulation variables. Oliveira et al (2017) observed that cowpea in consortium with millet presented a nodule dry mass equal to the monoculture system, showing that the millet-generated shading did not affect nodulation, similar to the tree component and buffel grass in the present study. Similar results were also observed by Silva et al (2016) in single cowpea cultivation and cowpea intercropped with Brachiaria decumbens.…”

Choosing the species suitable for cultivation in intercropped systems is a critical limiting factor for grain and forage production. This study aimed to evaluate the growth, nodulation, production, and physiology of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and guandu bean (Cajanus cajan) intercropped with buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and Eucalyptus urograndis (Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla) in an integrated production system. Two experiments were conducted simultaneously, arranged in a 2 × 4 factorial scheme. The first factor consisted of the use of two integrated production systems. The second factor consisted of four distances (2, 4, 6, and 8 m) from the eucalyptus planting rows. In the first experiment, crop-forest systems (CFIS: eucalyptus trees and cowpea) and crop-livestock-forest systems (CLFIS: eucalyptus trees, cowpea, and buffel grass) were evaluated. In the second, livestock-forest systems LFIS1 (eucalyptus trees and guandu bean) and LFIS2 (eucalyptus trees, guandu bean, and buffel grass) were evaluated. In cowpea, nodulation was not influenced by production systems and distances, whereas in guandu bean, there was a reduction in the nodules' number and dry mass with the distance from the trees. Higher growth, biomass production, and photosynthetic activity of cowpea and guandu bean were observed with the increasing distance from the eucalyptus planting rows. However, cowpea increased the 100-seed weight at 2 and 4 m distances from the eucalyptus rows, improving the grains' quality close to the trees. The simultaneous cultivation with buffel grass did not affect the leguminous plant yield, promoting greater diversification and increasing the total biomass production of the intercropping.

to evaluate the effect of different spatial arrangements on growth and yield of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) under okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) cowpea intercropping in sandy regosol. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) having monocropping and different intercropping patterns. The results revealed that there was a significant difference (P<0.05) among treatments for plant height, root length, leaf area, leaf area index, pod length, number of total and effective nodules per plant, dry weight of effective nodules and total pod yield of cowpea. However, seeds per pod was not significantly different (P>0.05) with different plating patterns. The study concluded that 60 cm between two rows with 150 cm between two pairs of rows of okra with three rows of cowpea in between paired rows would be the most suitable planting system to get maximum growth and yield of cowpea.

“…Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Brown is a traditional crop in West Africa and Asia, with exceptional adaptation to abiotic stresses [13]. It is one of the most cultivated cover crop species in the Cerrado region due to its greater tolerance to drought, high biomass production and efficient nutrient cycling [8,14,15], and it is adapted to semi-arid regions [16].…”

Brazilian Cerrado has a dry period, and the inclusion of new species for diversification in the production system needs to be drought-tolerant. This work aimed to evaluate biomass and nutrient accumulation in species with potential as cover crops and grain crops under different water levels. Irrigation treatments were obtained through an irrigation bar with sprinklers with increasing water flows to create a continuous gradient. The experimental design randomized complete blocks in split plots with four replications. The main plots were composed of four water regimes (167 mm, 268 mm, 381 mm and 432 mm), and the subplots were formed by the following cover crops: Amaranthus cruenthus, Chenopodium quinoa and Pennisetum glaucum, the latter already used for this purpose. Amaranthus cruenthus and P. glaucum recorded the highest dry biomass (10.16 and 9.75 Mg ha−1, respectively). Dry biomass production and the cellulose contents decreased with the reduction of water availability for all species. A. cruenthus was the species that most accumulated P (37.42 kg ha−1), K (416.92 kg ha−1), Mg (30.88 kg ha−1), S (43.53 kg ha−1), Fe (2.22 kg ha−1), B (0.124 kg ha−1) and Zn (0.240 kg ha−1). Amaranthus cruenthus produced the highest yield. Under high and low water availability conditions, A. cruenthus presents potential as a cover crop and grain cash crop, in addition to accumulating more nutrients; P. glaucum has potential as a cover crop and C. quinoa only for grain production.
