| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted in concrete boxes with acid soil as the medium for crop growth and development. It was conducted to determine the agronomic and yield performance of mungbean and corn grown as monocrop and intercrop with and without the addition of lime and phosphorus. Likewise, its residual effect on mungbean was evaluated. Seed yield of mungbean was significantly reduced when it was intercropped with corn regardless of CaCo3 and P application. However, it significantly increased the intercropped mungbean seed yield with and without their application when applied P with CaCo3 and P Lime. On the other hand, application of P on intercropped mungbean gave comparable yield with that of the control (no lime and no P application). As far as monocrop mungbean is concerned, it yielded comparably with and without P application. Likewise, liming with and without P application followed the same trend but significantly gave higher yield than the control. Corn yield, on the other hand, significantly increased when intercropped with mungbean and applied with lime but without P application. Liming with or without the addition of P improved corn productivity as evidenced by the significant increase in yield over unlimed soil. All the yield characters of mungbean and corn were significantly influenced by the treatments imposed except the weight of 1000 seeds of mungbean which was most likely attributed to the genetic make-up of the variety used. Plant height of mungbean either at 20 DAP, 45 DAP and 60 DAP was likewise affected by the different treatments with six tons CaCo3/ha plus 60 kg P205/ha giving the tallest plants. Corn height, however, was affected only by lime and P application at 20 DAP and 45 DAP. Comparable plant height was obtained at 60 DAP. In terms of residual effect, significant variations existed among treatments on plant height, nodule count as well as herbage yield at 54 DAP. | |
