The use of insecticides has been the major control strategy for cowpea and okra pests, especially in the tropics.
The okra variety is a day-neutral plant with deep green, broad leaves and moderate canopy height.
Intercropping facilitated a reduction in the cowpea bug infestation and in flea beetles on okra.
One week after the conclusion of solarization treatments, 5-week-old okra seedlings were planted in the experimental plots.
Since crop yield of okra is closely related to plant biomass29, solarization treatments would increase okra yield if the plants had been maintained through harvest.
The okra planting was thinned at the three-leaf stage to six plants per pot.
More leaf damage was observed on the okra sole crop than in the intercrop.
