Abstract

In trials in 1972-5, grain yields were similar in maize grown in rows 75 or 90 cm apart, sorghum in rows 45 cm apart or in paired rows 30 cm apart with inter-row strips of 60 cm, and pearl millet in paired or triple rows 30 cm apart with inter-row strips 70 and 90 cm apart, resp., with the same plant population of each crop in different sowing patterns. Productivity/ha was considerably increased when Vigna radiata or soyabean was intercropped in maize in wide rows, sorghum in paired rows and pearl millet in triple rows
