Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Intercropped wheat was more competitive than intercropped maize during the co-growth period.
- Intervention effect Intercropped wheat showed a yield advantage.
- Intervention effect Intercropping increased maize yield under irrigated conditions.
- Mechanism The increase in intercropped maize yield under irrigation was attributed to full recovery growth of maize after wheat harvest.
- Intervention effect Rainfed conditions and nil nitrogen aggravated interspecific competition in the intercrop.
- Association Water deficit under maize rows limited the recovery growth of intercropped maize.
- Intervention effect Rainfed and nil nitrogen conditions led to yield reduction of intercropped maize.
- Intervention effect Compared with sole maize, the yield of intercropped maize decreased.
- Association Nitrogen deficiency limited the recovery growth of intercropped maize.
- Intervention effect Medium nitrogen fertilizer with irrigation under intercropping gave the best yield improvement and land use advantages among all treatments.
- Intervention effect The total yield of intercropping was 14.8% higher than that of sole cropping.
- Intervention effect The land use efficiency of the intercrop increased by 16%.
- Intervention effect Supplementary irrigation with optimal nitrogen alleviated interspecific competition in the wheat/maize intercrop.
- Intervention effect Supplementary irrigation with optimal nitrogen promoted the recovery growth of intercropped maize.
