It is exceptional for the peasants to plant pure stands. Unless sound evidence is obtained that production from pure stands is appreciably higther than that from mixed cropping, and that there are advantages such as reduced labour input, pest and disease control, and covenience, it will not be possible to introduce rotational systems of agriculture based on pure stands so long as the hoe remains the most important agricultural implement, in fact intercropping has decided advantages over pure stands then pure stands would only be essential if harvesting has to be mechanized.  acotton  aMilho  aSorgo  aAmendoin  aConsorciação  aConsórcio de planta  aMaize  aPeanut  tEast African Agricultural and Forestry Journalgv. 26, p. 1-10, 1960.
