Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation The three treatment factors interacted significantly for grain yield, biomass and IWP.
- Observation The three treatment factors interacted significantly for weed biomass and LER.
- Observation Buckwheat monoculture yielded up to 2397 kg ha⁻¹ with full irrigation and eight weeks of weed control.
- Observation Cowpea monoculture yielded up to 1316 kg ha⁻¹ under full irrigation and eight weeks of weed control.
- Intervention effect The 50B–50 C intercrop maintained weed suppression under deficit irrigation.
- Observation Buckwheat IWP peaked at 0.57 kg ha⁻¹ mm⁻¹.
- Observation The 50B–50 C intercrop IWP peaked at 0.46 kg ha⁻¹ mm⁻¹.
- Intervention effect Weed biomass declined sharply within four weeks of control.
- Intervention effect Amaranthus retroflexus density was reduced by more than 50% in intercrops.
- Observation The 50B–50 C pattern had LER above 1 across irrigation levels.
- Method / resource The neural network predicted vertical biomass distribution with R² 0.87–0.92.
- Recommendation The authors recommended 50B–50 C intercropping, 85% irrigation and at least six weeks of weed control.
