Intercrop

We are continuing to experiment with this variety as an intercrop with millet. ❋ Unknown (1996)

If rattrapage is to be complete, it is important that there be adequate water, nutrients and no weeds after the intercrop is removed. ❋ Unknown (1996)

This characteristic makes sesban a good intercrop. ❋ Unknown (1996)

Another creative way to control the pest is to intercrop the chickpeas with coriander, a commercial spice crop. ❋ Unknown (1996)

[Imagine what that would do to a subsequently planted intercrop of beans!] ❋ Unknown (1996)

If cane farmers use herbicides, maize is an especially good intercrop because both crops react similarly to herbicides. ❋ Unknown (1996)

Trials in Hawaii have indicated its usefulness as an intercrop with eucalyptus, especially in wetter areas. ❋ Unknown (1996)

Early growth is slow, making it an ideal, noncompetitive intercrop with cereals such as sorghum and millet. ❋ Unknown (1996)

A very effective way to ensure that the weeding is carried out well and that the seedlings are protected is to intercrop trees and agricultural crops for the first 1-2 years after planting. ❋ Unknown (1993)

It is also possible to intercrop only for a few years while a woodlot or tree plantation is being established. ❋ Unknown (1993)

In recent years, farmers in Niger and other West African countries increased land area under millet cultivation to meet food needs by effectively decreasing the fallow period or replacing the traditional shifting cultivation with continuous cropping of millet-dominated intercrop systems. ❋ Unknown (1992)

Test-crop millet N uptake after previous intercrop treatments was significantly greater than previous sole millet. ❋ Unknown (1992)

It can be concluded that millet/cowpea intercrop systems showed better land-use efficiency than sole millet or cowpea systems. ❋ Unknown (1992)

For maize, there was a general increase in intercrop yield over that of the sole crop when smother crops were included in the mixture in the late season. ❋ Unknown (1992)

Furthermore, the residual effect of the cowpea intercrop on whitefly populations cannot be explained by a build-up of natural enemies in this system during the intercrop period. ❋ Unknown (1992)

From a practical point of view, introduction of sole cowpea or cowpea-based intercrop systems in place of traditional millet-dominated intercrop systems may be advantageous. ❋ Unknown (1992)

Pearl millet and cowpea yields in sole and intercrop systems, and their after-effects on soil and crop productivity. 10. ❋ Unknown (1992)

This leads us to believe that cowpea inclusion in sole or intercrop systems would make extra soil N available to following cereal crops such as millet. ❋ Unknown (1992)

Pearl millet and cowpea yields in sole and intercrop systems, and their after-effects on soil and crop productivity. ❋ Unknown (1992)

This showed that an intercrop of pigeonpea + sorghum was beneficial and efficient compared to sole cropping in respect of nitrogen uptake. ❋ Unknown (1992)
