Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Productivity of sorghum-cowpea intercropping system under drought stress was studied. Specific objectives were to evaluate growth and productive advantages of this cropping system and to see how the relative competitive ability between the two crops was affected as a result of water shortage. The results of this experiment will be used as an indication to effects of drought stress on interaction between competition for water and competition for light by component crops of sorghum-cowpea intercropping in north Kordofan, western Sudan. A pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in The Netherlands. Strip plot design with three replicates was used. Each replicate was divided into three vertical strips with three cropping systems (sole sorghum, sole cowpea and sorghum-cowpea intercropping), and three horizontal strips with three water supply levels (high, intermediate and low water supply level). Two plants were sown in each pot at the smne date. The three different water supply levels were applied from 3 5 days after sowing on wards. Data on pot moisture status, biomass, LA, leaf photosynthetic rate and several features of plant growth and yield were collected and studied. The research confirmed that sorghum a C4-species, is much better able to deal with water shortage than cowpea a C3-species. In the sorghum-cowpea intercropping treatment, cowpea was the tall and dominating species, irrespective of water supply level. The relative competitive ability of both species however, was clearly affected by water supply, sorghum was becoming a relatively higher competitor at the lower water supply levels. Analysis of experimental results clearly demonstrated that the increase in relative competitive ability of sorghum at lower water supply levels did not only result from direct effects of water shortage and the difference in response of both species. The strong reduction of cowpea growth in condition of limited water supply increased the position of sorghum in competition for light. Through this indirect effect, the increase in relative competitive ability of sorghum at low water supply level was further strengthened. Comparison of biomass productivity of the intercrop and sole crops of sorghum and cowpea showed that RYT at all water supply levels always slightly higher than one, indicating that productivity of the intercrop was at least equally good as that of the sole crops. For kernel yield however, there was one clear exception. At the lowest water supply level RYT was 1.2, Indicating a 20% increase in overall productivity. This shown increase was to a large extent caused by a mild reduction of HI of intercropped co·wpea, whereas a strong reduction in HI of sole co·wpea crop observed at this water supply level. This result clearly demonstrates that in intercrops the response of kernel yield might be very different from the response of total biomass due to additional effects on harvest indices.
Book Synopsis Evaluating Forage Sorghum Cow-pea and Pearl Millet-cowpea Production and Quality in the Texas High Plains by : Elora-Danam Ellison

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite declining water availability in the semi-arid southern High Plains, demand for high-quality forages by the livestock and dairy industries continues to grow. Alternative forage crops with high water use efficiencies should be explored to meet this demand. Grass-legume intercrops may improve the nutritive value of the forage product, but viable intercrops must maintain yield levels. The purpose of this study was to evaluate forage sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]-cowpea [Vigna unguiculate (L.) Walp] and pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) Leeke]-cowpea intercrops for forage production and quality. Four planting arrangements per grass species were included in the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons to evaluate forage production of sorghum-cowpea and pearl millet-cowpea intercrops under limited irrigation. Treatments were sole pearl millet, sole forage sorghum, sole cowpea, or mixtures of either pearl millet-cowpea or forage sorghum-cowpea planted in the same row, alternating rows (millet-cowpea 1:1 or sorghum-cowpea 1:1), or two rows alternating (millet-cowpea 2:2 or sorghum-cowpea 2:2). Intercrop biomass yields ranged from 11.6 to 16.2 Mg ha-1 in 2020 and from 7.2 to 12.4 Mg ha-1 in 2021. Results from both study years indicate that the studied intercrops are able to maintain yield, quality, and WUE levels similar to sole pearl millet and forage sorghum.

This book was released on 2011-08-30 with total page 1339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa can achieve self sufficiency in food production through adoption of innovations in the agriculture sector. Numerous soil fertility and crop production technologies have been generated through research, however, wide adoption has been low. African farmers need better technologies, more sustainable practices, and fertilizers to improve and sustain their crop productivity and to prevent further degradation of agricultural lands. The agricultural sector also needs to be supported by functional institutions and policies that will be able to respond to emerging challenges of globalization and climate change.
