Performance in association of cultivars of cassava (Manihot esculenta Cranz) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Walp.) of different growth habits

The association of cowpeas and cassava appears to offer a means of exploiting to the fullest most resources of the humid tropical environment, both species are relatively tolerant to adverse soil conditions. The combination of a tall long-season crop (cassava) with a shorter, quicker growing (cowpea...
