Evaluation Of Vegetable Cowpea (Vigna Unguicuiat L Wap) Varieties/maize (Zea Mays L.) Intercropping System
ABSTRACT
At a field trial at
Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike research farm, the growth,
yield and yield advantages of [our varieties of vegetable covea and maize were
evaluated in sole and intercropping systems. The treatment were laid out in a
randomized complete block design with nine treatment in each block replicated
three times during the 2004 cropping season. The varieties were: akidi arii
(spreadinq), akidi enu (climbing). 1186D:- 1228-14 (erect) and lT93k-915 (semi
erect.) cowpea, and the maize variety was Bende White. Intercropping did not
affect growth and yield of the component crops. The vine length was short in
erect cowpea. Sole semi-erect cowpea had fewer pods per plant than the other
varieties. The study showed that it is better to grow any of the cowpea
varieties with maize on the basis of [ER, which in each case was greater than
one. This suggests compatibility of the component crops in intercropping
systems. The partial [ER of each component crop indicated that maize was the
major contributor in the productivity because in each system it had high€r [ER
than cowpea.
