Summary in the original language of the document

Intercropping sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) with cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) or soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) could be a valuable means to raise the protein content of the forage and maintain satisfactory yield under drought conditions. In summer 2023, a field experiment was established in Terranova dei Passerini (45°11’35”N, 9°4’47”E), under organic farming, to assess the effects of legume species and plant type, and crop spatial arrangement on the forage yield of binary associations sorghum-legume.
