Abstract
Intercropping maize or sorghum with pigeon peas, cowpeas or beans led to a reduction in leaf area indices, fresh weight yield at time of anthesis, straw yield at harvest and grain yield of the cereal crops. In sorghum, pigeon peas and cowpeas had a greater adverse effect on grain yield than beans, but with maize, beans and cowpeas had a more adverse effect on grain yield than pigeon peas. While intercropping maize with either beans or cowpeas decreased total yield of grain (cereal and legume) per hectare, intercropping sorghum with pigeon peas increased total grain yield per hectare.
