Shoot and root biomass, leaf area index, harvest index, competitive ratio, land equivalent ratio (LER) were used to study biological efficiency of cassave maize intercropping system. Root biomass and harvest index were stable indices for identifying cassava clones for intercropping with maize, while competitive ratio and land equivalent ratio were better measurement of competition levels and magnitude of recovery in the post-competition period
