Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Year and its interaction with treatment had no significant effect on forage and nitrogen yield.
- Observation Barley170 had the highest forage yield, nitrogen yield, and net return.
- Observation Oat85 had the lowest forage and nitrogen yields.
- Observation Pea150-oat85 had the lowest net return.
- Intervention effect Intercropping significantly reduced barley yield relative to monoculture.
- Intervention effect Intercropping significantly reduced oat yield relative to monoculture.
- Intervention effect Pea forage and nitrogen yield reduction due to intercropping ranged from 40% in pea150-oat85 to 48% in pea150-oat170.
- Intervention effect Doubling barley seeding rate reduced intercrop land advantage for forage and nitrogen yield.
- Observation Pea150-barley170 was the most profitable intercrop for forage and nitrogen yield and net return.
- Observation Pea150-barley85 gave the highest land advantage for forage yield.
- Observation Pea150-oat170 gave the highest land and monetary advantage for forage and forage nitrogen yield.
