Effects of Spatial Row Arrangement and Time of Planting Intercrops on Performance of Groundnut (<i>Arachis hypogaea</i> L.) under Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.)—Groundnut Intercropping System in Ejura

In monoculture, crop failure due to biotic or abiotic causes can result in partial total output failure. The yield, socio-economic, and environmental effects of intercropping on the farmer environment as a whole have not received much attention. There is dearth knowledge productivity maize-groundnut intercrops Ghana regarding relative timing planting spatial arrangement component crops. Therefore, objective study was determine row time groundnut under intercropping. 5 × 3 factorial field experiment undertaken at Miminaso community Ejura-Sekyedumase municipality Ashanti Region during 2020 cropping seasons. Treatments were evaluated Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates. levels were: one maize (1M1G), two rows (1M2G), (2M1G), (2M2G), sole (M/G). introducing included simultaneous (0 WAP), week after (1 WAP) weeks (2 WAP). significant (P 0.05) treatment interactions for pod seed yields throughout study. highest 1815.00 kg/ha 2359.00 recorded by 0WAP 1M2G major minor seasons 2020, respectively, while 741.00 726.00 rainy 1WAP G treatments, respectively. (404 637 seasons, respectively) produced 2M2G.
