e0“compared to sole cropping treatments,there was a significant increase of land equivalent ratio(LER) in the alternately irrigated wheat/maize intercropping treatment with the LER values ranging from 1.22 to 1.52”
t0“Wheat/Maize Intercropping”
e1“there was no significant change of wheat yield in the alternately irrigated intercropping treatment”
e2“The water consumption in the alternately irrigated intercropping treatment had no significant increase compared to that of the conventionally irrigated intercropping treatment”
e3“The WUE of alternatiely irrigated intercropping treatment was 0.9-22.5% higher than that of the conventionally irrigated intercropping treatment”
