e0“The plant internal P use efficiency of maize was significantly decreased from the initial 411.7–775.7 kg kg−1 in monoculture to 345.7–710.4 kg kg−1 in intercropping by 4.9%–16.0%, and 100 kg maize grain P quantities were significantly increased from 0.25–0.46 kg to 0.27–0.54 kg by 7.0%–17.4%.”

- Intervention effect Intercropping improved maize biomass production relative to monoculture.
- Intervention effect Intercropping improved maize phosphorus uptake relative to monoculture.
- Observation The intercropped maize partial land equivalent ratio for P uptake was 0.58 to 0.92 and exceeded that for biomass production.
- Intervention effect Maize grain phosphorus concentration increased under intercropping.
- Intervention effect Maize internal phosphorus use efficiency decreased under intercropping.
- Intervention effect Rational phosphorus fertilizer input maximized maize yields and phosphorus use without reducing interspecific advantages or harvest indexes.
