Abstract	A field experiment was carried out in 2010 to determine the appropriate spatial arrangement of component crops in the maize-field bean intercropping system for optimum grain yield and production efficiency. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments consisted of combinations of three relative row proportions of maize and field bean and two nutrient management practices. One sole crop each of maize and field bean was added for comparison along with farmers practice. The results indicated that the spatial arrangement and nutrient management practices are important factors determining the productivity of the maize + field bean intercropping system. The spatial arrangement to adopt in order to obtain high yields for the component crops differed significantly. For spatial arrangement of four rows of maize alternating with two rows of field bean gave the best maize equivalent yields (4888.65 kg ha -1 ). System harvest index (0.37), B:C (3.24) were significantly higher over other and LER (1.37) and ATER (1.68) values recorded were in general greater than unity, implying that it will be more productive to intercrop maize and field bean than grow them in monoculture.
