- Observation Cropping system significantly influenced maize and soybean grain yield and yield components.
- Observation Tillage methods did not significantly influence maize and soybean grain yield and yield components.
- Observation Residue levels did not significantly influence maize and soybean grain yield and yield components.
- Intervention effect Sole soybean yielded 1.99 t ha-1, significantly more than intercropped soybean at 1.26 t ha-1.
- Intervention effect Sole soybean had the highest grain yield equivalent at 6.45 t ha-1, above intercropping at 4.99 t ha-1.
