“…Cashew in cashew/cassava/maize/plantain, cashew/maize/cowpea and cashew/cassava/plantain combinations didn't perform well in terms of growth parameters which might be due to the heavy demand for soil nutrient due to completion among the crops. Nonetheless, findings on cropping systems have shown some negative effect on vegetative and flowering of crops in the intercrop compared with sole crops [27,28,29]. All the combinations did not influence the survival of cashew negatively as they all had 100% survival rate except cashew/cassava/maize/plantain and cashew/cassava which both had 87.5%.…”

Cashew is an important economic tree crop cultivated for its wood, apple and most especially the nut. The large plant spacing involved in its cultivation encourages intercropping. Intercropping cashew during the early phase of establishment with arable and sometimes tree crops is usually practiced which serves as food security, cultural weed control and means of additional income to farmers. The aim of this study is to look into some experimented cashew intercrop and gaps in the intercrop patterns. Review of past literatures was used in discovering cashew intercrop patterns in Nigeria and some major cashew producing countries. Intercropping cashew with arable crops is more popular and profitable than with tree crop except in Sri-lanka where intercropping with coconut seems profitable than cashew sole cropping. Intercropping of cashew with arable crops, legumes and vegetables did not affect the growth of young cashew except millet, sorghum and pigeon-pea. Cashew/maize and cashew/cassava/yam had high returns respectively. Intercrop combinations with more than two crops affected the growth of cashew. Cashew/rice and cashew/plantain intercrop suppressed the growth of weeds with no negative effect on cashew growth. More concise and implementable research can be done where information on weed control, growth parameters, nutrient demands, yield and economic returns can be gotten from an experiment on the various cashew intercrop patterns as this will make the findings more adoptable by the farmers. Intercropping cashew with more than 2 crops should be discouraged.

“…[24] observed that annual vegetable crops such as celosia, okra and pepper occupy valuable ecological niche in tropical agriculture and play significant roles in the eco-physiology of mixed systems. Nonetheless, studies on mixed cropping have indicated that intercropping systems despite the reduced individual crop performances of component crops [25] not only produced more overall yield because of more efficient utilization of environmental resources compared to sole cropping [22] [26]- [30], but is also very advantageous in the maintenance of soil fertility through effective soil cover and amelioration of the environment [29]- [32]. However, [33] observed that LER was greater than unity, and that LEC and ATER values followed a trend similar to that of LER, thus demonstrating yield advantages for the intercropped plots.…”

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.

“…La siembra de varios cultivos que difieren en altura, desarrollo radicular y requerimientos de luz, permite un uso más eficiente de energía solar, agua y nutrientes (Olubode et al, 2016). En Nigeria, la papaya se cultiva en sistemas intercalados con plantas superiores como palma aceitera (Elaeis guineensis), plantas intermedias como cítricos y hortalizas de porte pequeño (Agboola, 2000;Olubode et al, 2012). En este estudio se obtuvo un UET parcial para el cultivo de papaya de 0.93 y 0.89 en hilera simple y doble hilera, respectivamente.…”

“…Los UET para papaya intercalada con quimbombó ('okra'), sandía y batata (camote) fueron de 3.86, 3.13, 2.06, respectivamente. Estos resultados indican que todas las combinaciones fueron más ventajosas que el monocultivo de papaya (Olubode et al, 2012).…”
