Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)–maize (Zea mays L.) intercrops grown with fertilizers enhanced cowpea grain yield and profitability in Guinea savannah of Ghana

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The low yield of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) in sub‐Saharan Africa is credited to several limitations, including poor soil fertility and unsustainable cropping systems. Cereals like maize (Zea mays L.) and legume crops like cowpea support smallholder farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa. Intercropping (more common than rotations) can boost

Evaluating the Intercropping Systems in the Context of Agroecological Resilience in the Current Era of the Changing Climate: A Scenario of Scientific Analysis of Last Decade Data

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
The extreme event of climate change (CC) has become more crucial, and under the current context of CC during the last decade. The cropping system (CS) approach is more appropriate than a suitable and established package of practices for individual crops, as CS interrelates with other components and resources related to sustainable farming under the ...

Evaluation of the Land Equivalent Ratio index in barley-pea and bread wheat-faba bean intercropping.

, 2019
The Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) is a very useful index to let farmers understand the advantages of intercropping vs pure crops. In 2018 the LERs of barley-pea and bread wheat-faba bean intercropping were evaluated.

The potential of intercropping food crops and energy crop to improve productivity of a degraded agriculture land in arid tropics

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2014
Degraded agricultural lands in the arid tropics have low soil organic carbon (SOC) and hence low productivity. Poor farmers that their livelihoods depend highly on these types of lands are suffering.
