- Intervention effect Maize shading reduced incident radiation at bean canopies by up to 90%.
- Intervention effect Shading reduced bean dry matter by 67%.
- Intervention effect Shading resulted in bean yield losses.
- Intervention effect Intercropping increased bean dry matter partitioning to leaf and stem by about 50%.
- Intervention effect Intercropping lowered bean pod dry matter partitioning by 40%.
- Observation Sole bean radiation interception increased to canopy closure then decreased.
- Observation Intercropped bean radiation interception stayed at 0.0 to 0.2 across seasons.
- Intervention effect Intercropping did not affect maize growth, partitioning, or yield.
- Intervention effect Intercropping did not affect maize radiation interception or radiation use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Row direction did not affect growth, partitioning, or yield.
- Intervention effect Row direction did not affect radiation interception or RUE.
- Recommendation Later shading is recommended to reduce bean yield losses.
