Two cultivars of corn were intercropped with cassava (cv. Golden Yellow). The treatments were as follows: A-cassava alone, B-corn alone (VM2), C-corn alone (VM6), D-cassava + VM2 (2 plants/hill), E-cassava + VM6 (2 plants/hill, F-cassava + VM2 (1 plant/hill) and G-cassava + VM6 (1 plant/hill). The spacing for pure corn was 75 cm x 50 cm with 2 plants/hill and for pure cassava 75 cm x 100 cm. For treatments D and E there was one hill with two corn plants midway between cassava plants while for treatment F and G there were two hills of one corn plant each 25 cm away from cassava or a population half of corn planted alone. Corn planted alone had significantly higher yield than intercropped corn. No significant yield differences were observed between corn varieties and among intercropped corn. There was also no yield differences observed among the cassava. The corn grain yield and total cassava root yield in t/ha are as follows: A-17.1; B-5.5; C-5.0; D-2.8; 18.6; E-2.7, 16.6; F-3.6, 16.3; and G-3.2, 19.3
