“…The lack of significant difference in height is attributed to the absence of appreciable competition for light resulting from intercropping with soybean. The finding is in support of Telkar et al (2017) report that the intercropping of maize with soybean did not have a significant impact on maize height. Maize leaf area was significantly higher under intercropping system compared to the sole crop in 2016.…”

Inorganic fertilizer recommendation for ameliorating soil fertility decline is facing many challenges. Information on the alternative (organomineral fertilizer) for use in the intercrop is scarce in Tarabe, Nigeria. Hence, inorganic and organomineral fertilizer (OF) effects were evaluated on growth, N uptake and yield of maize and soybean. Using a 2 x 9 factorial field experiment in 2016 and 2017, cropping systems (sole and intercrop) were evaluated under nine fertilizer levels (control, 50, 100, 150, 200 kg N/ha OF and 50, 100, 150, 200 kg N/ha NPK 20-10-10 fertilizers) in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Maize (ACR-95DT) and soybean seeds (TGX 144 8-2E) were sown at 40,000 and 74,000 plants per ha, respectively. The results indicated that intercropping improved maize and soybean leaf area, but resulted in a significant reduction in N uptake and yields in the two growing seasons. Maize yield varied significantly among treatments and ranged from 0.78 (control) -2.32 t/ha (150 kg N/ha OF) and 1.04 (control) -2.13 t/ha (150 kg N/ha NPK) in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Also, soybean yield was significantly increased at 100 kg N/ha OF (1.14 t/ ha) compared to 150 kg N/ha OF (0.83 t/ha) in 2016, while 150 kg N/ha OF and NPK had significantly higher yields than the other treatments in 2017. The cropping system and fertilizer interaction had no significant influence on maize and soybean grain yields in both years. Organomineral fertilizer at 150 kg N/ha was suggested for improving maize and soybean intercrop.

“…The higher leaf area is due to the beneficial effects of legumes intercrop over the companion crops. The highest leaf area in maize + soybean intercropping was due to better growth of maize plants due to poor competition from intercropped soybean (Telkar et al, 2017). Similar results were also reported in intercropping of soybean with maize by Undies et al (2012) and .…”

Background: The intercropping of maize with legumes is beneficial in multifaceted aspects. Advantages of maize-legume intercropping is pronounced in the form of higher yield and greater utilization of available resources, benefits in weeds, pests and disease management, fixation of biological nitrogen by legumes and transfer of nitrogen to associated maize and control of erosion by covering a large extent of ground area. The current investigation aimed to study the effect of maize-French bean and maize-soybean intercropping on growth and yield of maize under rainfed condition of Namsai district of Arunachal Pradesh. Methods: The field experiment was conducted during 2021 in randomized block design consisting of 3 treatments i.e. T1- sole maize, T2- maize + French bean and T3- maize + soybean with four replications. Observations on growth and yield parameters and yield of maize were recorded on harvesting of the crop. The results were analysed using standard statistical procedures of ANOVA. Result: In maize + French bean and maize + soybean intercropping, the growth and yield parameters as well as yield of maize was higher in maize + soybean intercropping as compared to maize + French bean system. The grain yield of maize under maize + soybean intercropping was 5541.67 kg ha-1. From this study, it can be concluded that the intercropping of maize with soybean would be profitable due to higher yield of maize (2 rows of maize and 2 rows of soybean) under farmer’s field condition of Namsai district of Arunachal Pradesh.

“…The results are plausible because the most commonly used mulches are largely available locally from the farms. Some of the materials used include crop residues such as ground nut cover, wheat and paddy straws, dry leaves, grass, bark, sawdust, and compost (Telkar et al, 2017). Mulch is applied artificially or naturally on the surface of the land and therefore is not knowledge-intensive (Ranjan et al, 2017).…”

Maize is a staple food for 96 percent of Kenyans. Smallholders supply up to 75 percent of maize produced in Kenya but are affected by unpredictable timing, duration, and distribution of rainfall, especially during the growing season. To enhance maize productivity adoption of robust adaptation measures is vital. The study aimed to evaluate the level of efficacy of adaptation of smallholder maize production to climate variability in Kitui and Laikipia counties. Data from 273 smallholder maize producers drawn from Kitui and Laikipia counties was analyzed. A questionnaire was administered to collect data on demographic, socio-economic characteristics, and adaptation choices. The level of efficacy of adaptation was derived based on the Multiple Criteria Evaluation. Results showed that the majority of smallholders in the study (47 percent) reported a low level of efficacy of adaptation most of whom were from Laikipia County (54 percent) as compared to Kitui County (44 percent). Overall, a very small proportion of smallholders reported a high level of efficacy of adaptation (7 percent). The study concluded that the level of efficacy of adaptation of smallholder maize production to climate variability in semi-arid areas was low. The County Governments through the department of agriculture and environment could establish guidelines for a robust combination of adaptation choices to ensure the suitability and enhancement of maize production.
