Abstract
Spatial arrangement of crops is critical in
determining the growth and yield of lower crops in
intercropping. The productivity of two spatial
arrangements of pearl millet-groundnut intercrops was
studied in the Sudan savanna of Nigeria during 2014
rainy season at Wasai (5ˈN, 08
o
62ˈE) in Minjibir of
Kano state, and Rahama (11
o
40ˈN, 09
o
20ˈE) in Dutse of
Jigawa state. The treatments were two millet varieties
(Dankaranjo and SuperSosat), two intercropping
systems (2:2 and 2:4; reflecting millet to groundnut
row) and four groundnut genotypes (SAMNUT 21,
SAMNUT 22, SAMNUT 23 and SAMNUT 24). The
experiment was laid out in split-split plot design with
four replications. Among the groundnut genotypes, pod
yield was greater at 2:4 system at Minjibir, while
SAMNUT 23 and SAMNUT 24 were significantly
(P<0.05) better than SAMNUT 21 and SAMNUT 22,
SAMNUT 21 was best in terms of pod yield (480 Kg ha
1
) at Dutse followed by SAMNUT 22 and SAMNUT 23
and least was SAMNUT 24 (293 Kg ha
-1
). Higher haulm
yields were produced by SAMNUT 21 and SAMNUT 22
at both locations followed by SAMNUT 23 and
SAMNUT 24 which had similar haulm yields at
Minjibir.
