Other claims from this paper (19)
- Association Sole-cropped bean grain yield rose significantly with density, peaking at 100% RD.
- Observation Intercrop LER was significantly above 1·0 at the reported component densities.
- Observation The greatest intercrop LER was 1·29 at 75% RD for both crops.
- Observation All density combinations showed resource complementarity, with RYT above 1·0.
- Association Resource complementarity decreased significantly as wheat and bean density increased.
- Association Wheat grain and whole-plant nitrogen content increased significantly as bean density increased.
- Association Wheat grain protein increased significantly as bean density increased.
- Association Total wheat nitrogen accumulation fell as bean density increased because wheat biomass was reduced.
- Association Bean nitrogen percentage increased significantly as wheat density increased.
- Association Bean total nitrogen accumulation fell as wheat density increased because biomass was reduced.
- Observation Intercrops accumulated more nitrogen than sole wheat but no more than sole beans.
- Observation Weed biomass was greater under beans than under wheat.
- Association Increasing crop density significantly reduced intercrop weed biomass below both sole crops.
- Association Weed nitrogen content declined significantly as wheat density increased.
- Association Weed nitrogen content increased significantly as bean density increased.
- Association Weed nitrogen accumulation per area declined significantly as density of both crops increased.
- Association Wheat mildew increased significantly as bean density increased.
- Association Chocolate spot incidence increased significantly as bean density increased.
- Method / resource The intercrop could be combine-harvested and its components mechanically planted separately.
