- Intervention effect Intercrop mulch lowered evapotranspiration by 17.3% relative to no intercrop mulch in the dry year 2013.
- Intervention effect Intercrop mulch with NPKM increased single apple fruit weight.
- Intervention effect Intercrop mulch with NPKM increased apple fruit number per tree.
- Intervention effect Apple yield under NPKM with intercrop mulch was 73.25% greater than CK with intercrop mulch.
- Intervention effect Apple yield under NPKM with intercrop mulch was 130.51% greater than CK without intercrop mulch.
- Intervention effect In 2013, NPKM with intercrop mulch increased apple water use efficiency by 47.69% relative to intercrop mulch alone.
- Intervention effect In 2014, NPKM with intercrop mulch increased apple water use efficiency by 56.95% relative to intercrop mulch alone.
- Intervention effect Intercrop mulch with NPKM increased orchard soil organic matter by 25.8% relative to CK without intercrop mulch.
