) for sorghum–cowpea mixtures, and by Ahmad et al. (2006) for forage sorghum–legumes. Mahapatra (2011) also measured higher LER for sabai grass (Eulaliopsis binata)–mung bean mixtures compared to sole sabai grass. Contrary to this study, Mahapatra (2011) reported an increase in sabai grass leaf yield when intercropped with mung bean; whereas, in the present study, each legume led to a decrease in maize DM yield as the proportion of legume in the seed ratio increase (Table 3).
