Abstract

Sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench (variety COSOR 1) had a significant increase in yield when intercropped with field legumes. On the contrary, the yields of peanut, Arachis hypogaea (CES 101) and soybean, Glycine max (CES 434) decreased significantly. Only mungo, Phaseolus aureus (CES 14) was not affected significantly by the intercropping system.

Height of sorghum was not affected significantly by the intercropping system but legumes had significant increase in height when intercropped with sorghum.

Yield components and agronomic characters were affected significantly by intercropping except the number of days from planting to flowering of all the crops and the weight of 100 shelled and unshelled peanut.

Mungo appeared to be the best intercrop for sorghum, giving the highest net return per hectare for both the wet and dry seasons.
