Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Rice height, tiller and effective tiller counts were not significantly influenced in the mixed cropping system.
- Intervention effect Rice growth was better on the rotation and intercrop plots.
- Intervention effect Rice yields under the intercrop system were lower, because of negative correlations between rice height, tillers and grain yield.
- Observation Taro petiole length and leaf number increased with time on all systems.
- Intervention effect The rate of increase of taro growth was higher in sole crop than in the intercrop system.
- Intervention effect Rice reduced taro petiole length in the intercrop.
- Intervention effect Rice increased taro leaf number in the intercrop.
- Intervention effect Taro tuber sizes were the same for all treatments.
- Intervention effect Final taro yields were reduced in the intercrop.
- Association The taro crop was more competitive or aggressive than rice in the intercrop system, with values of 1.65 and 0.6.
- Intervention effect The intercrop had land equivalent ratio values of 1.1 and 1.2, a better option for land resource use.
- Observation The average performance of the rice crop in the intercrop was the same, 0.85.
