Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation S.C. 167 maize hybrid had the highest yield and yield component values in both seasons.
- Observation Giza 2 had the lowest yield and yield component values in both seasons.
- Association Increasing maize density with basil from 25% to 50% gradually increased maize grain yield and its components.
- Association Maize intercropping significantly affected basil yield and yield components, which decreased most with S.C. 167.
- Observation The maximum land equivalent ratio was 1.31 for Giza 2 intercropped at 50% maize with 100% basil.
- Observation Relative crowding coefficients for Giza 2 at 25% maize with 100% basil were 10.83 and 15.66 in the two seasons.
- Observation Maize dominated basil across all intercropping patterns.
- Association Most maize–basil intercropping treatments gave lower returns than solid maize or solid basil planting.
- Observation The highest net return was LE 14644 for Giza 2 with 100% basil and 25% maize.
- Observation The difference between the highest and lowest net return was LE 6110 across the two seasons.
