Field trial demonstrates intercropping improves yield and economic performance, highlighting the role of row orientation.

Intercropping sweet corn with cowpea can enhance land productivity and economic returns.
The East–West row orientation led to a 14.6% increase in cowpea yield while slightly reducing maize yield by 5.3%.
Using one cowpea row along with East–West orientation achieved the highest land equivalent ratio (LER = 1.93).
This experiment utilized a split-plot design to analyze growth and yield metrics over a four-month period.

Fajri et al. (2025) studied this question.
