Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Total light interception in maize-peanut intercropping was 5.5% higher than in monocropped peanut.
- Intervention effect Total light interception in maize-peanut intercropping was 7.6% lower than in monocropped maize.
- Intervention effect Increasing maize density increased light interception in monocropped maize.
- Intervention effect Increasing maize density did not change total light interception in the intercrops.
- Observation Maize light use efficiency across years was 2.9 g·MJ−1.
- Association Maize light use efficiency increased with maize plant density.
- Intervention effect Light use efficiency of peanut was enhanced in intercropping, especially in a wetter year.
- Mechanism The yield advantage of maize-peanut intercropping came mainly from the light use efficiency of peanut.
