Effects of planting density and variety on productivity of maize-faba bean intercropping system.

Generally, even though it was not statistically significant, maize harvest index showed a decreasing trend with the increase in the density of intercropped faba bean plants possibly due to the decreased grain yield harvested as a result of increased inter-species competition. 3.2 Faba bean yield and yield components 3.2.1 Number of pods per plant The main effects of densities of faba bean as well as cropping year and cropping system were significant (p < 0.001) on the number of pods per plant (NPPP).

However, LER showed an increasing trend with an increase in faba bean plant populations.
