- W280902710 abstract "Push-Pull technology (PPT), which involves intercropping of maize (Zea mays) with Desmodium and planting Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) around the intercrop, has been described as an innovative technology capable of replenishing nitrogen, eliminating stemborer and Striga in western Kenya. This study evaluated the agronomic and economic performance of varying trimming regimes of two Desmodium varieties, Desmodium uncinatum Jacq and Desmodium intortum Urb in a PPT. On-farm trials were carried out over four consecutive seasons in Busia and Siaya sites of western Kenya. The tested treatments included three cropping systems namely; mono maize with urea (90 kg N ha-1), mono-maize without urea, maize intercropped with two Desmodium spp. and three Desmodium trimming regimes namely; 9, 12 and 18 weeks after planting maize. To eliminate phosphorus (P) deficiency, all treatments received basal P fertiliser. Desmodium trimming regimes had a small impact on maize grain yields and net present value (NPV). Intercropping Desmodium spp. with maize led to increase in maize grain yield over to mono-maize but this occurred after the system was well established. This implies that when P is not limiting inclusion of Desmodium spp. into maize cropping system would provide a substitute for inorganic N fertilisers to enhance crop growth and yield only after Desmodium becomes well established. This is an indication that PPT can enhance overall household income through improving maize and enabling diversification of complementary agricultural enterprises." @default.
