A study to assess the effect of intercropping maize (Zea mays L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.)\udwithin the same basin or outside the basin on root length density (RLD) was conducted at the International\udCrop Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) Matopos Research Station\udfrom December 2009 to April 2010. The experiment was laid out in a Randomised Complete Block\udDesign (RCBD) with four treatments replicated four times namely; sole maize, sole cowpea, maizecowpea\udintercrop with cowpea and maize planted within the same basin and maize-cowpea intercrop\udwith cowpea planted 20 cm outside the maize basin. There was significant difference (P <\ud0.001) in RLD, grain yield and stover yield. Maize-cowpea intercropped within the same basin\udachieved higher RLD, grain yield and stover yield than cowpea that was intercropped outside the\udbasin and the sole crops. The land equivalent ratio (LER) in both intercrop designs showed that\udintercropping had better grain yield performance when compared to sole cropping. It can be concluded\udthat intercropping maize and cowpeas within the same basin can result in an environment\udaround the crop achieving higher RLD which translates to better grain yield compared to the sole\udcropping and intercropping cowpeas outside the basin
