| dc.description.abstract | Two trials were grown to investigate the effect of intercropping maize genotypes with the soya bean cultivar IH/192 and its implication on maize breeding for inter cropping. Genotype x Cropping systems interactions were low. It was thus considered possible to select maize genotypes for intercropping under either monoculture or intercropping with little lass of precision. Maize genotypes which are prolific, early Bilking and with long grain filling periods were considered suitable for intercropping with the soya bean cultivar. There was, in maize genotypes, a positive correlation between plant height and grain yield. Positive correlations were also observed between grain yield and either ear height or top height; but these correlations were not independent of plant height. Although the cultivar of soya been used in these trials appeared to have adjusted its yield components more or less in the same way under different genotypes, it was considered soya bean grain yield could be increased by using short maize genotype for intercropping. | en_US |
