Cereal-cowpea intercrops have a record of low yields in the West African savannah. Two potential ways to improve the yield of cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata Walp), when grown with maize ( Zea mays L.), is by manipulating the plant population of maize and using adapted cowpea cultivars. A field trial was conducted at Samaru in northern Guinea savannah of Nigeria, to determine the performance of semi-determinate and indeterminate cowpeas grown under maize populations of 0, 17,777, 26,666, and 53,333 plants ha-1. The radiation transmitted into cowpea was reduced by 50, 30 and 15% for a maize population of 53,333, 26,666 and 17,777 plants ha-1 respectively, compared with 0 plants ha-1. Maize population of 0 to 26,666 plants ha-1 favoured better...
