Effects of maize–legume intercrops on termite damage to maize, activity of predatory ants and maize yields in Uganda
Field experiments during two cropping seasons at Namulonge Agricultural Research Institute, Uganda assessed the effect of intercropping maize with soyabean, groundnut and common beans on termite damage to maize, activity of common predatory ants and maize yields. Intercropping caused a significant (...
