Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Maize grown with faba bean had longer roots than maize grown with maize.
- Intervention effect Maize grown with faba bean had greater shoot biomass and P content than maize grown with maize.
- Observation Faba bean had a smaller root system than maize at each phosphorus supply rate.
- Observation Faba bean exuded more citrate and acid phosphatase than maize at each phosphorus supply rate.
- Intervention effect Heterogeneous phosphorus availability enhanced maize root-length density.
- Intervention effect Heterogeneous phosphorus availability did not enhance faba bean root-length density.
- Association Maize root proliferation in phosphorus-rich patches was associated with increased shoot phosphorus uptake.
- Intervention effect Localized phosphorus application stimulated maize root morphological plasticity in the maize/faba bean mixture.
- Intervention effect Faba bean exudation stimulated maize root morphological plasticity in the maize/faba bean mixture.
- Intervention effect Faba bean exudation increased maize shoot growth in the maize/faba bean mixture.
