Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Alternate irrigation significantly enhanced root growth.
- Intervention effect Intercropped wheat and maize had greater root development than monocultures across most soil depths.
- Intervention effect Alternate-irrigated wheat/maize intercropping had the highest total seed yield over three years.
- Intervention effect Alternate-irrigated intercropping achieved higher water use efficiency through higher yield and reduced irrigation.
- Recommendation The authors recommend alternate irrigation for water-saving wheat/maize intercropping in arid oasis fields.
