Resumo
The investigation for one of alternatives that allow the expansion of agricultural and forest products
associated with environmental preservation, one option would be the adoption of agroforestry. The objective
of this study was to evaluate the productive yield of cowpea and maize in single crop and mixtures in an
agroforestry system in the southern state of Tocantins. The experimental design was randomized complete
blocks with four replications. The treatments were arranged in a factorial design to varying characteristics of
maize and cowpea in different previous treatments. The average productivity of maize of the experiment was
3.279 kg ha 1 , the predecessor treatment with legumes was higher statistically producing 3.635 kg ha 1 .
Was observed average production of cowpea of 752 kg ha 1 , higher than the national average in the same
year. According to the index of efficiency of land use, it was found that the intercroping systems gave the best
results than monoculture systems in agroforestry system.
