| In ten trials in Mauritius in 1987 and 1988, plant sugar cane uniformly spaced at 1.6 m between rows was intercropped with bean and maize, alone or together. At low density, the yield of bean increased proportionately with increasing density, but not at the high density. Maize grain yield also increased with increasing density but not proportionately. Neither bean nor maize yields were reduced in the presence of sugar cane. Maize reduced cane tillering, especially at high density. Cane and sugar yields were decreased with maize in every interrow of sugar cane, with bean at the highest density and with maize and bean together. The productivity of all the associated systems was greater than sugar cane in pure stand. The most productive system was sugar cane in association with bean at high density. | |
