Effect Of Intercropping Maize-Soybean On Grain Quality Traits In Kenya
An study was carried out in Kenya to assess the suitability of three promiscuous soybean varieties
(SB19, GAZELLE and TGX1990-5F) intercropped with Maize (Duma 43). A randomised complete
block design was used replicated three times with seven treatments. The arrangement of
intercropping was 1:1. Data collection included germination %, plant height, days to 50% flowering,
days to 75% maturity, yield biomass per plant, 100 grain weight, grain yield, harvest index and Land
