- Intervention effect Intercropping raised pointed cabbage yield per metre row by 28% versus monocropping.
- Intervention effect Faba bean fresh seed yield did not differ between cropping systems.
- Observation The intercropping land equivalent ratio was 1.06.
- Observation Monocropped cabbage had the highest aboveground biomass.
- Observation Total nitrogen accumulation was higher in intercropping and monocropped faba bean systems.
- Intervention effect Faba bean rows under intercropping had greater root frequency and intensity than monocropped faba bean.
- Observation Monocropped cabbage had the highest root intensity.
- Observation Monocropped cabbage left the lowest soil mineral nitrogen in the 0–1.5 m layer after harvest.
- Observation Monocropped cabbage efficiently assimilated nitrogen.
- Observation Monocropped faba bean efficiently exported nitrogen in harvestable yield.
- Intervention effect Intercropping nitrogen use efficiency was 75%, exceeding cabbage alone at 65%.
