    (2008) Ibeawuchi, I. I.; Obiefuna, J. C.; Ofoh, M. C.; Matthews-Njoku, Edna; Ajaero, J. O.
    Raising and sustaining the productivity of smallholder tuber based crop mixture is the major problem facing tropical agriculture. This problem is connected with the development of low input technologies, which is the sure and noble alternative of which the tuber/land race legume mixture is the answer. However, the more the component crops in the mixtures the lower, the individual crop yields. Crop mixtures involving lima bean and African yam bean were most efficient judged by the higher LER and gave the highest monetary returns which is the satisfaction of the smallholders farmer who produce majority of our foods.
