Water Competition of Intercropped Pearl Millet with Cowpeaunder Drought and Soil Compaction Stresses

Intercropping pearl millet with cowpea is a common practice in semiarid areas. Under limited water environments, competition for soil water between intercropped plants may be strong. Furthermore, the increasing soil compaction problems, due to the use of heavy machinery, may intensify competition fo...
