The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of farming systems in management of PPN and to recommend the best practice to farmers. Therefore, two field trials were established, one infarmer fieldsandoneon-station,usingmaize (Zeamays L.), intercroppedwithbeans(Phaseolusvulgaris L.) and in rotationwith beans as asole crop.
