- Intervention effect Double cropping increased maize grain yield relative to monocropping.
- Intervention effect Double cropping significantly increased total biomass relative to monocropping.
- Mechanism The adapted phenological cycle of double cropped maize favored higher yields.
- Intervention effect Double cropping used more water than monocropping.
- Intervention effect Double cropping lowered yield water use efficiency.
- Intervention effect Double cropping had the highest irrigation water use efficiency for yield.
- Intervention effect Double cropping increased water use efficiency for biomass.
- Intervention effect No tillage gave the highest yields.
- Intervention effect No tillage increased water retention capacity.
- Intervention effect High nitrogen had no yield advantage over the medium nitrogen rate.
- Intervention effect High nitrogen had no WUE advantage over the medium nitrogen rate.
- Recommendation The authors recommend legume-maize double cropping with no tillage and reduced nitrogen to maintain yield and improve water productivity.
