The intra and inter row spacing of pepper in sole and mixtures was 50 cm by 50 cm. Varying pruning regime of pigeon pea had no significant effect on growth, total fruit yield and number of fruits, monthly fruit yield and number of fruits and monthly fresh fruit weight of pepper. Number of fruits of pepper increased across all treatment and peaked in November, the same goes for pepper fruit yield. Pepper monthly fruit weight however declined continuously from point of first harvest. Fruit yield of pepper is influenced more by the number of fruits than the fruit weight. It was concluded that Mixture of pepper with pigeon pea pruned to 50 cm above the soil was the best treatment in this study. This treatment combines better (p>0.05) fruit yield of pepper with relatively longer (p>0.05) period of harvest with appreciably high biomass of pigeon pea for soil organic matter improvement .In pepper/pigeon pea intercrop pruning pigeon pea to about the average height of the pepper will be adequate for proper growth and fruit yield.","PeriodicalId":185766,"journal":{"name":"Nigerian Journal of Horticultural Science","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128135627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sole crops of the three planting densities each of maize and egusi melon were included to ease the calculation of land equivalent ratio (LER). Length of egusi melon vine decreased with increase in maize planting density and increased with increasing egusi melon density. Intercropping reduced the yields of maize and egusi melon relative to their sole crops. The presence of egusi melon reduced the grain yield of maize and the seed yield of egusi melon. The grain yield of maize, however, increased as the population of maize in the intercrop increased, while the seed yield of egusi melon continued to decrease with increase in maize population in the intercrop.
