Abstract: AbstractPearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] yields in Senegal are constrained by rainfall variability, persistent drought, and low soil fertility. Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek], a short‐duration and relatively drought‐tolerant legume crop, is capable of improving soil fertility and productivity of associated crops. Our study evaluated the effects of pearl millet and mungbean intercropping on crop yields in the semi‐arid regions of Senegal. Field experiments were conducted during the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons at Bambe...
