Can I intercrop my maize with millet

Ephraim

Yes, maize and millet can be intercropped as they have different growth habits and can use different nutrients in the soil. The taller maize plants provide support for the smaller millet plants and can help to suppress weed growth. Additionally, intercropping maize with millet can help to increase overall crop yield per unit area. However, it is important to ensure that both crops have similar water and nutrient requirements and to manage the intercropping system carefully to avoid competition for resources.
