Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect The intercrop had a crop performance ratio of 1.27 for reproductive yield relative to sole crops.
- Mechanism The proportional increase in total dry matter of the intercrop was largely a result of its greater interception of radiation.
- Intervention effect The sorghum component of the intercrop had an improved harvest index of 0.64 compared with its sole crop counterpart.
- Mechanism The advantage in reproductive yield of the intercrop was a consequence of an improved harvest index in the sorghum component.
