A staggered maize-legume intercrop arrangement robustly increases crop yields and economic returns in the highlands of Central Kenya
Smallholder farmers in East-Africa commonly intercrop maize (Zea mays L.) with grain legumes to maximize utilisation of land and labour, and attain larger crop yields. Conventionally, one legume line is intercropped between each pair of maize lines. This study evaluated the potential of a modified t...
