Abstract
A tall, spreading, photosensitive Cajanus cajan cultivar, SA1, and a short compact photoinsensitive cultivar, CO5, were intercropped with the sorghum cultivar CO22 at 3 plant densities. In comparison with pure stands, intercropping resulted in (1) decreased dry matter production (less than 10% decrease in SA1, 30% in CO5), (2) decreased leaf area index (greater decrease in CO5), (3) decreased crop growth rate throughout the entire period (up to 195 days after sowing) in CO5, but in SA1 an initial decrease followed by a rise after 120 days from sowing, (4) decreased net assimilation rate in both cultivars (especially in SA1) and (5) decreased relative growth rate initially with a rise later
