- Intervention effect Barley with clover produced 4·56 t biomass/ha, significantly different from barley alone at 3·05 t biomass/ha.
- Intervention effect Barley with pea cultivar Zero4 produced 4·49 t biomass/ha, significantly different from barley alone at 3·05 t biomass/ha.
- Intervention effect Barley intercropped with clover yielded 3·36 t grain/ha, significantly above other treatments.
- Observation Nitrogen accumulation in barley was low in 2006.
- Observation Nitrogen accumulation was significantly higher in the following year’s oats than in barley in 2006.
- Observation The study concludes that intercrops affect subsequent spring-oat nitrogen uptake.
- Association Differences in following-crop effects were linked to prior legume species and cultivars.
- Recommendation The authors recommend choosing intercrop legumes to optimize plant productivity and accounting for effects on partner and following crops.
