- Intervention effect Maize dry matter yield was maximal at sole crop component populations.
- Intervention effect Mungbean dry matter yield was maximal at sole crop component populations.
- Intervention effect Land equivalent ratio was maximal at the respective sole crop populations.
- Association Mungbean population had no significant effect on maize grain yield.
- Association Mungbean yield fell as either component crop population increased.
- Intervention effect Intercropping reduced maize nitrogen absorption relative to sole crops.
- Intervention effect Intercropping reduced mungbean nitrogen absorption relative to sole crops.
- Association Increasing maize population reduced mungbean N absorption efficiency.
- Association Increasing maize population raised maize N absorption efficiency.
- Intervention effect Combined intercrop N absorption efficiency exceeded that of the sole crops added together.
- Mechanism Higher N absorption efficiency was the major source of LER over unity.
- Intervention effect Intercropping decreased maize N conversion efficiency.
- Mechanism Overall N conversion efficiency contributed negatively to LER over unity.
