Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Maize grain yield differed significantly by intercropping system.
- Observation Soybean grain yield differed significantly by intercropping system.
- Intervention effect Tillage did not significantly influence maize and soybean grain yield.
- Intervention effect Residue levels did not significantly influence maize and soybean grain yield.
- Intervention effect Sole maize yielded 4.76 t/ha, significantly above intercropped maize at 4.27 t/ha.
- Intervention effect Sole soybean yielded 1.99 t/ha, significantly above intercropped soybean at 1.26 t/ha.
- Intervention effect Intercropping reduced soybean seed yield by 37 % relative to sole soybean.
- Intervention effect Sole soybean had grain yield equivalent of 6.45 t/ha, above intercropping at 4.99 t/ha.
- Intervention effect Intercropping had a land equivalent ratio of 1.38 versus 1.0 for sole cropping.
- Intervention effect Intercropping produced higher gross return, net return and benefit:cost ratio.
- Observation Intercropping under zero tillage with residue removed gave net returns of NRs. 1,55,478.
- Observation Intercropping under zero tillage with residue removed gave benefit:cost ratio of 2.77.
