e0“four intercropping systems (oilseed rape/maize, oilseed rape/soybean, potato/maize, and soybean/potato) and the corresponding monocultures. Total dry matter data collected every 20 d after maize emergence were fitted to logistic models to investigate the temporal dynamics of crop growth and interspecific interactions. All four intercropping systems showed significant yield advantages”

- Intervention effect oilseed rape/maize intercropping showed significant yield advantage.
- Intervention effect oilseed rape/soybean intercropping showed significant yield advantage.
- Intervention effect potato/maize intercropping showed significant yield advantage.
- Mechanism Temporal niche complementarity was attributed to sowing or harvesting date differences or timing of maximum growth rate.
- Association Interspecific interactions amplified temporal niche differentiation and postponed maximum growth rate in late maturing crops.
- Association Maximum daily growth rate timing in maize associated with oilseed rape was postponed by 21 to 41 days.
- Association Maximum daily growth rate timing in maize associated with potato was postponed by 21 to 41 days.
- Observation After oilseed rape harvest, intercropped maize growth trajectories recovered to monoculture values per plant.
- Observation After oilseed rape harvest, intercropped soybean growth trajectories recovered to monoculture values per plant.
- Association Amplified niche differentiation depended on neighboring species identity and its relative growth rate.
