Intercropping maize and cowpea cultivars: I. Green-grain yield

Green ears of maize are much appreciated all over Brazil and reach higher prices than dry grain. This alsooccurs with green cowpea grain, which is much appreciated in the north and northeast of the country. The aim of this studywas to identify maize and cowpea cultivars that can be grown as monocrop...

The ‘AG 1051’ cultivarwas more productive than the ‘AL Bandeirante’ cultivar, as both a monocrop and an intercrop. The cowpea cultivars showeda similar performance under both systems of cultivation. There was no interaction between the maize cultivars and cowpeacultivars. The monocrops were superior to the intercrops for green-ear, green-pod and green-grain yield.
