Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect In intercropping, side-row maize had better nutrient content in roots, stems and grains than middle-row intercropped maize and sole maize.
- Intervention effect Intercropped maize yield was higher than sole-cropped maize.
- Intervention effect The interaction between crops significantly increased soil peroxidase activity.
- Intervention effect Intercropping significantly decreased protease and dehydrogenase activities in intercropped maize.
- Intervention effect Intercropping significantly decreased protease and dehydrogenase activities in intercropped peanut.
- Intervention effect The richness of fungi increased in intercropped peanut.
- Intervention effect Intercropping enriched the functional diversity of the bacterial community in maize.
- Intervention effect Intercropping reduced pathogenic fungi in maize.
- Intervention effect Intercropping enriched beneficial microbes in the maize rhizosphere.
- Intervention effect Intercropping increased the nitrogen content of intercropped maize.
- Association RB41, Candidatus-udaeobacter, Stropharia, Fusarium and Penicillium were positively correlated with soil peroxidase activity.
- Association The same microbial taxa were negatively correlated with soil protease and dehydrogenase activities.
