"On-Farm Evaluation on Yield and Economic Performance of Cereal-Cowpea Intercropping to Support the Smallholder Farming System in the Soudano-Sahelian Zone of Mali"^^ . "Cereal-cowpea intercropping has become an integral part of the farming system in\r\nMali. Still, information is lacking regarding integrated benefits of the whole system, including\r\nvaluing of the biomass for facing the constraints of animal feedings. We used farmers’ learning\r\nnetworks to evaluate performance of intercropping systems of millet-cowpea and sorghum-cowpea\r\nin southern Mali. Our results showed that under intercropping, the grain yield obtained with\r\nthe wilibali (short maturing duration) variety was significantly higher than the yield obtained with\r\nthe sangaranka (long maturing duration) variety whether with millet (36%) or sorghum (48%),\r\ncorresponding, respectively, to an economic gain of XOF (West African CFA franc) 125 282/ha and\r\nXOF 142 640/ha. While for biomass, the yield obtained with the sangaranka variety was significantly\r\nhigher by 50% and 60% to that of wilibali with an economic gain of XOF 286 526/ha (with millet) and\r\nXOF 278 516/ha (with sorghum). Total gain obtained with the millet-cowpea system was significantly\r\ngreater than that obtained with the sorghum-cowpea system by 14%, and this stands irrespective of\r\nthe type of cowpea variety. Farmers prefer the grain for satisfying immediate food needs instead of\r\neconomic gains. These results represent an indication for farmer’s decision-making regarding cowpea\r\nvarieties selection especially for addressing household food security issues or feeding animals."^^ .
