Effects of Planting Schedule and Intercropping on Green Gram (Phaseolus Aureus) and Bulrush Millet (Pennisetum Americanum) in Tanzania
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 October 2008
Summary
Experiments in Tanzania have shown that green gram planted one week before bulrush millet produced a complimentary protein energy balance optimal for a cereal–legume diet. Grain yields were increased due to additive intercropping (by 13%) and replacement intercropping (27%). Green gram plants were more competitive than bulrush millet plants at the seedling stage but were overpowered in later growth stages.
