Description A study to assess the effect of intercropping maize (Zea mays L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.)
within the same basin or outside the basin on root length density (RLD) was conducted at the International
Crop Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) Matopos Research Station
from December 2009 to April 2010. The experiment was laid out in a Randomised Complete Block
Design (RCBD) with four treatments replicated four times namely; sole maize, sole cowpea, maizecowpea
intercrop with cowpea and maize planted within the same basin and maize-cowpea intercrop
with cowpea planted 20 cm outside the maize basin. There was significant difference (P
