- Intervention effect Fabaceae intercropping increased maize grain yield by 7% versus sole cropping.
- Intervention effect Poaceae intercropping decreased maize grain yield by 10%.
- Association Higher rainfall improved intercropping performance relative to sole cropping.
- Association Higher soil organic matter improved intercropping performance relative to sole cropping.
- Association Consecutive years of intercropping favored positive yield responses.
- Intervention effect Nonfood intercrops had a limited effect on cereal biomass nitrogen content.

- Recommendation Authors recommend maize intercropping with Fabaceae NFICs in tropical and subtropical regions.
- Recommendation Authors urge caution with sorghum intercropping with perennial Fabaceae in semi-arid climates.
