Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Intercropping with tomato significantly reduced bell pepper shoot biomass relative to monocropping.
- Intervention effect Bell pepper intercropping did not affect tomato shoot biomass.
- Intervention effect Relay cropping did not affect biomass of either crop.
- Intervention effect Low-density intercropped bell pepper had yields similar to bell pepper monocrops at low and high densities.
- Observation Bell pepper was more sensitive to interspecific competition.
- Observation Tomato was more sensitive to intraspecific competition.
- Recommendation Intercropping may be viable at recommended monocrop densities.
- Recommendation High plant density is not recommended.
