• Nitrogen is one of the most limiting nutrients for crop production in many areas of Africa. One strategy to improve yields is to choose crops with high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) that can produce economic yields under limited water supply. Little information is available on the comparative performance of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L. R. Br.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) in sole crops and intercrops systems for the NUE of applied fertilizers. This study was conducted under field conditions at the Senegal Agricultural Research Institute from July to October 2001. Two cropping systems were used and included sole crops of pearl millet and cowpea and a millet-cowpea intercrop. ^<15>N-labeled urea at rates of 20kg ha<-1> (sole and intercrop cowpea) and 41kg ha^<-1> (sole millet and intercrop millet) was applied. Sole millet produced 6,041kg yield ha^<-1> and accumulated 95.27kg N ha^<-1>, of which 15.30% was derived from the nitrogen fertilizer and 84.70% from nitrogen mineralized in soil. Therefore, the NUE of the fertilizer was 36.29%. In intercrop millet, sole cowpea and intercrop cowpea, the NUEs were 15.20, 45.33 and 46.00%, respectively, indicating that the use of nitrogen fertilizer significantly decreased in intercrop only for millet. However, no significant difference was observed between sole and intercrop cowpea relative to the nitrogen derived from N_2 fixation. The amount of nitrogen immobilized in the soil was significantly higher in sole millet than in sole cowpea and millet-cowpea intercrop. The Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) of grains and total dry matter showed an advantage of the millet-cowpea cropping system over sole crops.
