Title StatementIntercropping sweet potato, cassava and gabi with legumes as a cultural management system
General NoteBaybay, Leyte: VISCA, 1983. pp. 1-85. -(Study 1)
Summary, Etc.Sweet potato (BNAS-51), cassava (Golden Yellow) and gabi (Kalpao) were alternately planted with mungbean (MG 50-10A), bushbean (Los Banos Bush Sitao) and soybean (TK-5) to evaluate and select promising legumes that could be used as intercrops with the root crops for optimum productivity per unit area. Inoculation of the legume intercrops with Rhizobium was done to determine its effect on the legume and on the associated root crops. Intercropping sweet potato and cassava with legumes reduced the yield of the root crops by as much as 17.78% and 20.58%. Gabi however, was not affected by the intercrops. The detrimental effect of competition by legume intercrops on sweet potato was effectively minimized by the inoculation of the intercrops with Rhizobium. However, cassava and gabi did not respond to this treatment, although the inoculation increased the yield of their legume intercrops. Bushbean was the best intercrop for the three root crops studied due to its lesser detrimental effects on the main crops and its greater productivity and economic return. The yield of the legume intercrops increased the profitability of the root crop farms. The reduced yield of root crops upon intercropping was more than compensated by the returns from the legumes. Thus, legume intercropping with root crops was found beneficial
