The Performance of Sweet Corn and Selected Legumes in Weeded and Nonweeded Intercropping Systems
An intercropping study was conducted at the Agronomy Field Research Station, Universiti Pertanian Malaysia from January to April, 1987 involving sweet corn (Zea mays [L.] var. Thai Super Sweet), mungbean ( Phaseolus radiatus [L.] Wilczek var. VC-1163), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L .] var. Purpl...

An intercropping study was conducted at the Agronomy Field
Research Station, Universiti Pertanian Malaysia from January to
April, 1987 involving sweet corn (Zea mays [L.] var. Thai Super
Sweet), mungbean ( Phaseolus radiatus [L.] Wilczek var. VC-1163),
cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L .] var. Purple Hull Pink-Eyed Seed)
and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea [L .]var. V-13) in weeded and
nonweeded sweet corn + legume systems. Sweet corn was the base
crop with mungbean, cowpea or groundnut as the intercrop in the respective weeded and nonweeded treatment combinations. The
treatments were replicated four times in a randomised complete
block design (ReBD) with factorial arrangements. The objectives
of the study were to evaluate crops performance under weeded and
nonweeded conditions, compatibility of the legumes with sweetcorn, comparative ability of the legumes to smother weeds, and
the influence of the cropping system on the N, P and K contents
of crops and weeds at harvest. |
