Studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of drip irrigation and fertigation system on the yields of sweet maize and telfairia occidentalis. Three treatments: watering once per week (6.38 litres) (Wi), twice (11.66 litres) (W_2), and thrice (17.16 litres) (W_3) were applied to sweet maize. Four treatments: 12 litres (Wi), 15.76 litres (W_2), 17.0 litres (W_3), 22.05 litres (W_4) and four fertigation levels: 54.6kg/ha (Fj); 68.06kg/ha (F_2); 81.92kg/ha (F_3) and 95.39kg/ha (F_4) were applied to telfairia occidentalis. Growth and yield of the crops were monitored. W_2 was optimum for sweet maize cultivation while (F_2W_2) was recommended for telfairia occidentalis.
