Influence of different seasons and row arrangements on growth and yield of maize and kenaf and mechanical properties of kenaf fibre in maize/kenaf intercrop

Journal of Agricultural Science and Practice, 2016
Four field experiments were carried out from 2012 to 2013 to assess the influence of different seasons and row arrangements on growth, yield of maize and kenaf and mechanical properties of kenaf fibre in maize/kenaf intercrop at Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Four maize/kenaf component ratios of 1 row of maize alternated with 1 row of kenaf (1:1), 1 row of maize ...
