Sweet Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) Performance in a Legume Intercropping System under Weed Interference

Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is highly susceptible to weed competition during the early growth stages; hence, intercropping considered overcome challenge. This study was conducted determine performance of sweet in legume systems under different management pressures. Three cropping (sole crop, inter-row, and intra-row intercropping) three levels (no weeding after crop emergency, ceasing 50 days throughout) were tested. Intercropping pattern had a significant (p < 0.05) impact on plant number leaves per plant, while other treatments remained insignificant 2017/18 growing season. During 2018/19 season, effect dry fresh biomass height at 60 emergence. An increase frequencies reduced Brix (◦Bx). Uncontrolled plots lowest accumulation, whereas increased as but further from 50% 100% both seasons. Consequently, SS/DB intermediate are sufficient for optimum SS production sugar levels.
