Optimizing fertilizer application to Cassava-Maize-Bean Intercrops in Kirimiro and Mumirwa Agro-ecological zones, Burundi: Effects on Agronomic, Nutrionnal and Economic Performances
Abstract
The global objective of this third investigation on the cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)-maize (Zea mays L.)-bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) intercropping system was to evaluate the optimal fertilization application. The experimental study was conducted in collaboration with voluntary progressive farmers from October 2023 to June 2025, located in two of the major agro-ecological zones (AEZ), Kirimiro and Mumirwa. Two growing seasons for bean crop and one season each for cassava and maize were achieved.
