Author(s): Kasaye Abera* and Berhane Sibhatu
Limited farmland size owned by smallholding farmer is one of the challenges to increase crop production and productivity at the study area in particular and in the country at large. Accordingly, famers have a long standing traditional knowledge of growing multiple crop types in different cropping patterns. Intercropping is one of the crop combination systems practiced by resource poor farmers to increase crop production per unit area of land per year and reduce the risks to food and cash sources. The study was conducted to determine Evaluation of Sorghum-Pulse Intercrops for Yield of Component Crops in Mehoni District, Northern Ethiopia. The experiment was conducted during 2010 and 2011 cropping seasons. The treatments were included four legume crops (Dekoko, mung bean, common bean and cowpea) and one variety of sorghum and also sole crops of each crop and a total of nine treatments. .. Read More»
