Studies in mixed cropping. 1. Seasonal differences in relative productivity of crop mixtures and pure stands in the Kenya Highlands.
(University of Nairobi, 1977)In a trial during 4 cropping seasons in 1972-4 at Kabete, yields of maize/bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and maize/potato mixtures grown in alternate rows were compared with pure stands of the component species. In seasons with ... -
Studies in mixed cropping. 2. Population pressures in maize-bean mixtures.
(University of Nairobi, 1977)In a trial in the long-rains season of 1974, maize/bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) mixtures and pure stands of each crop sown at low, medium or high plant densities were compared. Grain/seed yields of maize and beans in pure ... -
Studies in mixed cropping. 3. Further results with maize-bean mixtures.
(University of Nairobi, 1974)In contrast to earlier results, a clear advantage from mixed cropping of maize and beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) was found in the long-rain seasons (March-Sept.) of l976 and l977. Pure stand yields were low due to drought in ... -
