B.F. Quirol; Rodolfo G. Escalada; F.A. Manatad 1984
Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Legume intercrops reduced sweet potato growth.
- Intervention effect Sweet potato yield declined by up to 17.78% under legume intercropping.
- Intervention effect Legume yield declined by 14.94% under intercropping competition.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation of legume intercrops minimized nitrogen competition and allowed sweet potato herbage to develop.
- Intervention effect Sweet potato root yield with inoculated legume intercrops was 6.5% higher than with uninoculated legumes.
- Association Legume intercrops and their interaction with inoculation significantly affected sweet potato productivity.
- Observation Bushbean was a better sweet potato intercrop than mungbean or soybean because it matures earlier.
- Intervention effect Inoculated bushbean increased sweet potato yield.
- Intervention effect Inoculated mungbean increased sweet potato yield.
- Intervention effect Inoculated soybean seemed to depress sweet potato yield.
- Intervention effect Intercropping with uninoculated legumes was 3.5 times more profitable than monoculture.
