“…The narrow spacing in intercrop 2 resulted in high cowpea plant density and hence competit ion for growth resources. This is consistent with the findings of Ofori and Stern [18] and Alhaji [36] who observed reduction in cowpea yield due to high maize density in the intercropping system. Studies conducted by Agricultural Research Division [29] also reported that intercropping reduced the yield of cowpea.…”

A field experiment was conducted at Botswana College of Agriculture garden to investigate the effects intercropping maize and cowpeas on the performance of maize and co wpeas. The treat ments were sole maize crop, sole cowpea crop, intercrop 1 (spacing of 40 cm between of maize and cowpea) and intercrop 2 (spacing of 30 cm between maize and cowpea served as treatments. The experiment was monitored fro m November to March. The results show that only maize dry matter was significantly reduced by intercropping. Intercropping reduced the number cowpea flowers per p lant but had no significant effect in the number of seeds per pod and weight of seeds. Cowpea dry matter weight was significantly reduced by intercropping. Planting pattern significantly affected the number of cowpea flowers, nu mber o f pods and dry matter weight. Appropriate spacing/ planting pattern should be considered when intercropping cereal and legume.

“…Therefore values directly influences grain yield of cowpea. Number vof pods plant -1 of cowpea were higher in monoculture as compared to (Alhaji, 2008). This results are also parallel to the findings of Geren et al (2007).…”

This research was conducted in western of Turkey to determine the effects of maize/legume intercropping on productivity and soil compaction. The experiment comprised 7 treatments: sole planting of maize (Zea mays L.), cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.), and 2 different planting patterns (1-and 2-row proportion) with 4 maize-legumes intercropping series. Intercropping significantly affected plant height, 1000 grain weight, the height of first ear and grain yield of maize. The results revealed that sole maize and maize+soybean double row strips gave maize grain yield as 11680.2 kg ha -1 and 8990.5 kg ha -1 , respectively. Land equivalent ratio (LER) was greater than 1, indicating that this cropping system was profitable in terms of land utilization. Maximum LER (1.743) was recorded in maize+soybean double row strips. Intercropped legumes were significantly increased soil compaction because of the machine traffic in alternate rows. Based on better interception of sunlight energy, crop growth and grain yield collected during the two growing seasons, 1M:2S (1.74) and 1M:2C (1.69) intercropping systems should be suggested.Mısır/baklagil birlikte ekiminin verimlilik ve toprak sıkışıklığı üzerine etkisi Keywords: Intercropping Land equivalent ratio Legume Maize Soil compaction Yield ÖZET Bu araştırma Türkiye'nin batısında mısır/baklagil birlikte ekiminin ürün verimliliği ve toprak sıkışıklığı üzerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Deneme 7 uygulamadan oluşmuştur: saf mısır (Zea mays L.), börülce (Vigna sinensis L.) ve soya (Glycine max L.) ekimi, ve 2 farklı ekim düzeni (1 ve 2 sıralı) ve 4 mısır-baklagil birlikte ekim serisi. Birlikte ekim mısırda bitki boyu, 1000 tane ağırlığı, ilk koçan yüksekliği ve tane verimini önemli bir şekilde etkilemiştir. Sonuçlar saf mısır ve mısır+soya çift sıra ekim sisteminin sırasıyla 11680.2 kg ha -1 ve 8990.5 kg ha -1 tane verimi verdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Alan eşdeğer oranının 1'den büyük olması, bu üretim sisteminin alan kullanımı açısından karlı olduğunu göstermiştir. En yüksek alan eşdeğer oranı (1.743), çift sıralı mısır ve soya birlikte ekiminden elde edilmiştir. Baklagiller ile birlikte ekim ardışık sıralara ekimde makine yoğunluğundan dolayı toprak sıkışıklığını önemli bir şekilde artırmıştır. İki yıllık veriler birlikte ekim sisteminde daha iyi alan eşdeğer oranı, güneş enerjisinden daha iyi yararlanma, bitki gelişimi ve verimi açısından 1M:2C (1.69) ve 1M:2S (1.74) ekim sisteminin önerilebileceğini göstermiştir.

“…The grain yield of cowpea is higher when intercropped with the ratio of one row maize to one row cowpea 1033.77 kg ha -1 followed by one row maize to two-row cowpea 568.63 kg ha -1 (Table 2). This is consistent with the findings of Alhaji (2008) he observed reduction in cowpea yield due to high maize density in the intercropping system. Chemeda (1997) reported higher grain yield under sole cowpea compared to intercropping.…”

Field experiment was carried out during the 2017-18 cropping season at Kako, Bena-Ttsemay woreda, South Omo zone, Southern Ethiopia to determine the effect of intercropping of maize and cowpea on the yield, land use efficiency and profitability of both crops. The experiment consisted of 4 treatments (sole maize, sole cowpea, one row maize to one row cowpea and one row maize to two-row cowpea) and laid in RCBD in four replications. Intercropping of one row maize to one row cowpea and one row maize to two-row cowpea, resulted in 55.8% and 27.9% greater land use efficiency than for either crop grown alone. The highest MAI was obtained by growing one row of maize to one row of cowpea (11563.17) followed by one row maize to two-rows of cowpea (6783.50).Based on the present finding, intercropping of one row maize and one row cowpea more economic advantage than the other crop combination or grown alone. Therefore, intercropping of one row maize to one row cowpea is an advantageous to farmers in the study area since it would provide additional crop yield with the same piece of land and more profitable related to cost benefit.
