A study was conducted to see how different levels of nitrogen affected maize and legume crops grown together. Maize with soybean had more stover and biological yield compared to maize with groundnut. Both intercropping systems had similar maize grain yield. Maize with soybean had higher nitrogen uptake by maize grain and stover. Using nitrogen increased yield and nitrogen uptake in all plots. Maize with groundnut had higher yields than maize with soybean. Legume crop yields increased with nitrogen up to a certain point. Maize with groundnut had higher overall yield and left more nitrogen in the soil. A specific nitrogen ratio allowed for saving nitrogen while maintaining yield in maize and legume intercropping.
